Lakeland College Beef Day Sale 2018

The 2018 Student Managed Farm Purebred Team - Powered by New Holland, would like to welcome you to the 5th Annual Beef Day. Last year the team welcomed Red Angus calves to the herd and since then we have continued to source the industry’s leading genetics to provide quality breeding cattle for our customers. We believe the bulls on offer are a great representation of the quality cattle Lakeland College has to offer.

This year’s bulls are some of the most honest, hardworking cattle you’ll find anywhere.

Whether you’re looking for a calving ease bull for your heifer pen, or a bull to add performance to your cow herd; we can fill your needs. We are confident these bulls will go out and work for you, no matter the type of operation!

The cows that produced these bulls go back to the original herd founded in 1938.

Cows that are sound structured, functional with a long line of longevity. These cows have the genetics to improve any herd. Our herd sire Merit Source 5079C has played a big role in our herd, adding needed performance with a great genetic background.

We are offering 14 bulls this year; nine are sons of Merit Source 5079C. The focus of our team is to continue the growth of our herd’s genetic pool and to provide bulls that are trait leaders within the breed. We continue to grow our herd by retaining females we believe are trait leaders with great phenotype. As well as continuing to flush top performing females within the herd such as OAV Classy 4Z and OAV Laura 25T. As a group we would like to express our sincere gratitude for the continued support from the beef industry and the Angus community. As students, we have had the opportunity to take on roles similar to those we will encounter while out in the industry. Networking at shows and events has given us the chance to increase our industry contacts. Beef Day is our chance to showcase the knowledge and skills we have gained since becoming a member of the team in September 2017.

On behalf of the Purebred Team, we would like to invite you to view the bulls Friday March 23, at the Lakeland College Equine Center. If you would like to view the bulls prior to the sale or discus any bulls we have on offer, feel free to call the numbers listed.

Starting out with smooth shoulders that flows all the way back to his lower third and down to the feet and legs. His dam OAV Holly 36B has been a high producing female in the herd and has no problem putting performance into her calves.
