Auburn
Bull Sale Slated for Jan. 19
The 52nd
Annual Auburn Bull Test Sale will be held Saturday, Jan. 19, at the
Ham Wilson Livestock Arena on the Auburn University campus. The
facility will open at 7 a.m., so prospective buyers can inspect the
bulls. The sale begins at noon.
Sixty-five bulls
representing seven breeds will be sold. The top indexing bull for
the Auburn Bull Test, an Angus bull from Richburg Cattle in Auburn,
will be the first bull sold.
Bulls will be sold by
breed with the top senior age and top junior age bulls selling
first, then the remaining bulls, ranked by their final index scores,
within the breed will be sold.
Dr. Lisa Kriese-Anderson,
an animal scientist with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System
and test supervisor, says producers will have the opportunity to
purchase quality bulls for their operations.
"It's a good
opportunity for commercial producers to purchase quality bulls that
have the potential to vastly improve their herds in the coming
years," says Kriese-Anderson.
The AU Animal Science
Judging Teams will offer a dutch lunch at 11 a.m., while members of
the AU Block and Bridle club will work the ring during the sale.
For more information,
contact Kriese-Anderson at (334) 844-1561.
