The 2025 Southern Indiana Angus Association Sale is just around the corner, and we are excited to again be serving as your sale manager. The sale will once again be held in Little York, IN on Saturday, April 5th at 1pm.
It is time to be selecting and nominating sale consignments. Attached below, is the Excel spreadsheet to nominate your cattle or genetic lots. Be sure to save the file after completion before attaching and returning it via email. Also, make sure you receive a follow-up email from us verifying receipt of your nomination. Email the spreadsheet to goldbucklecattle@gmail.com. If you are mailing via USPS, be sure to complete the form you received that you may copy using a separate form for each animal or lot. If you have received this information and a paper nomination form and can complete your nomination electronically, contact us for a spreadsheet to be emailed to you.
As you are considering your nominations, particular care and attention should be given to the phenotype, age, and reproductive status that will represent you in the sale. Members of the sale committee and myself are available to discuss and view your nominations taking into consideration what your anticipations and goals will be. Angus bulls, show and replacement prospects, bred heifers, production females, donors and donor prospects, and genetic lots may be nominated for the sale.
The nomination deadline will be Jan 25th, 2024. The deadline for pictures to be included in the catalog is Feb 10th. Feel free to contact me with questions, or if you would like assistance in selecting your nominations. The success of the sale depends greatly on the quality and marketability of your offering.
Again in 2025, we will be webcasting the sale with real time bidding on CCI Live.
