In order to help get young people involved with Beefmaster cattle, the ABBA, CSBBA, and OHOA are joining together to sponsor a special heifer sale on January 29th , 2011. Registered Beefmaster heifers of show quality, calved from January 1, to June 30, 2010 are being sought for the sale. Heifers do not have to be show trained but must be broke to lead and tie. The sale will be at the Flying Cow Arena, 555100 E Hwy 59, Afton, OK. This is just 5 miles south of exit 302 off Interstate 44. Sale time is 1:00PM.
A Showmanship Seminar conducted by Justin Rhodes will take place at 11:00AM, followed by a complimentary lunch of hot chili. Each consignor will contribute $200 per heifer towards the Jackpot. CSBBA has also donated $1,000. Other donations will be accepted. Heifers purchased in this sale will be eligible to compete for points in up to 9 shows in Missouri, Oklahoma, and Arkansas during the upcoming season. The points will determine the top places that will split the Jackpot of $5,000 or more.
For more information, contact Justin Rhodes, BBU Field Representative 785-969-7619 or Dave Loftin, 417-827-9391. Please share this information with any 4H or FFA members you know. The more young people exposed to Beefmasters, the better.
