The Ohio Cattlemen’s Association invites you to participate in the 2008 Seedstock Improvement Sales scheduled for Friday, April 4 at the Muskingum Livestock Auction Company in Zanesville and Saturday, April 12 at the Union Stock Yards Company in Hillsboro. The Seedstock Improvement Sales are open to consignments from all members of the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association and all breeds of bulls.
The Seedstock Improvement Sales provide cattlemen from across the region an opportunity to sell and buy bulls in a reputable sale. Buyers have the assurance of purchasing bulls with known genetics, a completed vaccination regiment, and that have passed a breeding soundness exam. Many different breeds have been represented in the past.
Bulls from 1 to 5 years of age will be accepted. In addition, many of the bulls consigned will potentially qualify for Genetic Improvement cost share dollars from the Southern Ohio Agricultural and Community Development Foundation. For a list of the criteria contact the OCA office or visit www.soacdf.net.
All bulls are required to be registered and to have Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs). They will be placed in sale order based on a within breed evaluation system using EPDs for birth weight, weaning weight, yearling weight, and milk. In the past, older bulls have sold better than younger ones. By including bulls up to 5 years of age, some older bulls will be proven with performance data of offspring available. In addition to the regular health requirements, this year, BVD and Johnes Disease testing are strongly encouraged, but not mandatory.
The documents listed above detail the consignment requirements, the type of information that will be collected and presented on the cattle, and consignment form. Consignments must be postmarked by January 31, 2008. Should you have any questions, contact Bill Doig at the OCA office by phone at 614-873-6736 or E-mail at bdoig@ohiobeef.org.
