Maternal Edge Commercial Female Sale to be held in ColoradoColorado Plans for Colorado's first Maternal Edge Commercial Female Sale are currently underway. The sale will be held Nov. 21 at La Junta Livestock in La Junta, Colo. The Maternal Edge Female Sale-Colorado will be held in conjunction with a La Junta Livestock Female Sale. The La Junta Female Sale starts at noon and will feature the Gelbvieh-influenced females selling in the early afternoon. The concept of a Gelbvieh-influenced Maternal Edge Commercial Female Sale was first started three years ago with an annual sale in Tennessee. The sale has been very successful not only averaging above average commercial prices but also creating demand for Gelbvieh-influenced females in the southeastern United States. "With the success of the Maternal Edge Sale in the southeast, we want to build that same demand for Gelbvieh-influenced females in the west," said Bill Wilkinson, sale coordinator from the Colorado Gelbvieh Association. "We already have a number of quality females from some of the top Gelbvieh programs in the region to offer commercial producers." Further nominations of quality Gelbvieh-influenced breeding age females are currently being sought for the Maternal Edge Female Sale-Colorado. The sale plans to offer up to 500 head of bred females and cow-calf pairs. The Maternal Edge Female Sale-Colorado is sponsored by the Colorado Gelbvieh Association and the American Gelbvieh Association. The sale has a two-fold purpose. First, it provides a service to commercial producers who use Gelbvieh genetics in their program. Second, it is an excellent way to promote the breed through advertising and building relationships with consignors and buyers. If you use Gelbvieh genetics in your commercial program or are a breeder who has commercial customers who would benefit from this sale, please contact Bill Wilkinson at 719-846-7910 or the American Gelbvieh Association at 303-465-2333 or e-mail info@gelbvieh.org for more information or to be placed on the mailing list.
