This map is awesome i wish it showed a ratio or percent of cattle that made the sale per county or town as well. Miami only took 8 head and landed 7 in the sale, some other towns may have took 15 head and landed more in the sale. Miami is only a town of 600 people vs some other big schools bringing big loads of cattle. None the less its nice to see where the sale cattle came from.

Pilot Point branded all of their calves and has for the last 3 years.
