The 2022 sale held Feb. 24 at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield averaged $4,372 on the 46 lots sold. The sale is a multi-breed sale and offers both older age-advantaged bulls and yearlings. The top selling bull was a yearling Angus bull consigned by Murphy’s Genetics LLP of Illiopolis.

Keith and Brady Kramer of Kramer Farms near Farina, sold Kramer Farms Monumental 007 to Thomas Downey of Putnam. Callan Farms of Stonington sold CF Advance 720F-93J to Joe Hampton of Windsor. “This sale continues to be one of the best sources for total performance genetics in the Midwest,” says Travis Meteer, Illinois Extension commercial ag educator and sale manager. “During the past 54 years, the sale has sold 4,905 bulls valued at over 9 million dollars.” University of Illinois Extension, University of Illinois Department of Animal Sciences, and consigning breeders sponsored the sale.
