SALE FLYER

Lot 5/ I-80 Heifer

 Tag #5
I-80 X Monopoly Money

We found out this year why the  I-80 heifers are so popular
 and win so many shows...
they are just FLAT GOOD! 
This one comes with an added bonus from her Monopoly Money mother- 
TONS OF HAIR!  
Her mother is a maternal sister to the dam of last year's high selling steer
 shown by Vada Vickland. 
 This heifer made a lot of friends and was very popular 
at the Iowa State Fair
 where she was the 4th Overall Prospect Heifer (pic below)
