We have a good opportunity to market E-6 females this fall. Last year in Harrison, Arkansas they had the first annual “Riding for the Reds” commercial female sale. The sale consisted of 650 head of Red commercial females of various breeds. Last years’ sale was a great success averaging over $1200 and cattle were sold with a 6% commission. This fall they are planning on increasing their numbers and have invited Beefmaster breeders to consign red E-6 females. The sale will be held on September 18, 2010 in Harrison, AR. Anyone interested in consigning cattle to this sale, please contact Justin Rhodes for more information. He can be reached via e-mail at jrhodes@beefmasters.org or by phone at 785-969-7619.
