NWSS Commercial Open Heifers

Hello Cattlemen, Thank you for your interest in this outstanding set of females consigned to the National Western Female Show and Sale! We have representation from some of the western states finest cattle operations. You will recognize many of the consignors as having entered cattle in this sale for a number of years. They have always brought excellent stock and this year is no exception! We have a sprinkling of new consignors as well that have dug into the heart of their genetics to bring you top quality cattle.

You will find in the footnotes of each lot the vaccination programs that the heifers have been raised under and many of the consignors have also spelled out the feed regimen that has been followed in their development of the cattle. These cattle are ready to go to work for you.

As we all know, replacement females are in high demand and prices for feeder calves are expected to remain at or near record highs for the foreseeable future. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to buy some great cattle.

After the sale join us for the Cattlemen’s Social sponsored by Pfizer Animal Health right in the Auction Arena. If you want to take in the Rodeo that night, join the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association in their seating block by ordering them directly from the CCA at 303.431.6422.
