P.A.P.A Black Hided Sale 11/03/17

Results from the Special PAPA Alliance Blackhided New Crop Calf/Yearling Sale Friday November 3rd ...

Here this past Friday was the first of our three Special Blackhided New Crop Calf/Yearling Sales..

We had a showcase of the finest cattle that you would not buy any better anywhere in the country..

The work and effort that our Cattlemen and Cattlewomen put into producing high quality that can go anywhere is second to none..

I cannot stress enough how proud I am of our little part of the world and the volume of quality you all produce allowimg us to do what we do best, merchandise cattle properly throughout all of cattle feeding country whether near or afar..

We had a large run of these high quality cattle selling 3,973 head on a market that was on fire on the high quality cattle that were properly handled with Brian Curless the reigning 2017 LMA World Champion Livestock Auctioneer leading the charge on the block.. A magnificent job he did..

These cattle today were sold into about every state that feeds one which also speaks highly of all your efforts so keep up the great work, it pays!!

On a side note I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE anyone who has "black hided dairy cross cattle or odd colored plainer type cattle" to bring them to another our sales.. This sale is designed as a consolidation of high quality cattle suitable for the most particular cattle feeder.. Those odd cattle look much less quality than they actually are when standing against these high genetic cattle and bring less then they would on a regular sale..So we ask you please bring cattle that fit the sale criteria and leave the other types of cattle to a sale they fit where we sell all..These lower quality cattle were a minimum in today's sale but just want to bring it your attention that they will do better in another sale..

Lastly a huge thank you to not only all Buyers/Sellers alike for yet another great sale but a special recognition and thank you to our wonderful crew and team here at Bloomington Livestock who keep these cattle cared for during their stay and pride they take in handling your cattle..

We have the most impressive team in making a sale like this roll on and they are the wheel that never stops from behind the curtains.. Once again a huge thank you and great job to all the employee's of Bloomington Livestock..
