The Ohio Cattlemen's Association is hosting this year's Seedstock Improvement Bull Sale on Saturday, April 12 at the Union Stock Yards Company in Hillsboro. The sale starts at Noon. This sale offers an opportunity to buy bulls from multiple breeds in one location and on one day.
Buyers have the assurance of buying bulls that have successfully passed a breeding soundness examination, with known genetics, and a completed vaccination protocol. Again this year there are 44 bulls consigned to the sale, originating from 10 different Ohio seedstock breeders. There are 42 Angus bulls, one Simmental and one SimAngus.
Catalogs are now available for the sale at www.ohiocattle.org. The bulls in the sale range in age from one to two years and are all registered and have Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs.) The bulls are placed in sale order based on a within breed evaluation star system using EPDs for birth weight, weaning weight, yearling weight, milk, marbling, and rib eye area.
