Proven marketing opportunity for commerical Angus femalesKansas The Kansas Angus Association will sponsor the 18th annual Commercial Angus Replacement Female Sale at Pratt Livestock, Pratt, Kan., Dec. 5 at 1 p.m. Organizers are currently seeking consignments of young age cows, bred heifers, and open heifers. This sale has had tremendous success in the past seventeen years, sellers have earned top prices and buyers have bought top quality replacement females from reputable sellers. Females must be consigned in minimum five head lots, with all females being seven years of age or younger. To qualify for this special sale, the females must meet Certified Angus Beef live specifications: be predominately black hided; black white faces and/or "baldies" will be accepted; have typical beef-type conformation (no visible dairy influence); and be without long floppy ear and hump (no visible Brahman influence). The sale welcomes bred cows and heifers to calve in the spring of 2010; fall pairs, cows or heifers to calve in the fall 2010; and open heifers. Those interested in consigning cattle to the sale may download an entry form at www.kansasangus.org or send an e-mail to kansasangus@wbsnet.org. To discuss the offering or consignment possibilities contact sale chairman Gordon Stucky at 620-532-3220 or e-mail gordon@stuckyranch.com. Entries will be taken until Nov. 20. A significant regional and national advertising program is planned to inform potential buyers of the sale and individual consignments. The sale will also offer online bidding at www.cattleusa.com for buyers unable to attend the sale. Angus seedstock producers are encouraged to help inform their commercial bull customers of this sale as an option for producers to market source verified Angus genetics. The AngusSource tagging and marketing program sponsored by the American Angus Association will also be promoted at this sale. Consigners do not have to be members of the Kansas Angus Association. The sale is sponsored by the Kansas Angus Association. Another KAA commercial female sale will be held in the spring at JC Livestock in Junction City, Kan.
