The best cattle were sold for 10&#8242;s of thousands of dollars to ranchers looking to improve the genetics of their herds.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Feeling overwhelmed, anxious or stressed about all your tasks at work or home? A simple and surprisingly therapeutic solution is to take a few moments and write everything down. I promise it&#8217;ll be worth the 15 minutes. Grab a blank sheet of paper or find an empty whiteboard. Write down all the words or phrases on your mind. [...]]]></description>
