N.C. Angus Association to Host First Annual Genetic Harvest Online Female Sale in November The N.C. Angus Association will be hosting the online Genetic Harvest Angus Female Sale on November 27-28. We have seen many challenges this year, but along with those challenges have come some new opportunities. One of those is the growing popularity of online cattle sales. The N.C. Angus Association and its member consignors are working to conduct the association’s first fully virtual sale through Anguslive.com. Consignors will be putting together high quality videos and photos of their cattle to post on Anguslive.com for prospective buyers to view. There will be no physical location for the sale. Buyers will simply need to register and log on to www. anguslive.com during the scheduled sale time to bid on their female selections. All this can be done from the comfort and safety of your home.
North Carolina Angus Association
The November 27 sale will feature elite open heifers while the November 28 sale will have cow/calf pairs and bred cows. With the fully virtual format of the sale, the NCAA will not produce a print catalog, but if you have any questions about the cattle or the sale format, please contact the N.C. Angus Association at 336-583-9630 or ncaa.sec@gmail.com. Also, visit www.ncangus.org for sale updates. We hope you will join us for this new event on November 27-28.
