Ontario Spring Sales - 2020

Quinte Cattlemen's Association Stocker Sale!  Vaccinated, catalogued and Farm Fresh! 

The following is our pre-sale report for the Quinte Stocker Sale on Friday, Mar.13

As of Tuesday evening our consigned numbers for the Mar. 13 sale are in the range of 475.  Expectations are that we will likely reach 600 by sale time.  This is a "Vaccinations Preferred" sale with unvaccinated animals being accepted but, presently, all consigned cattle have been vaccinated.  The majority of the cattle will be calves in the 5 - 750 weight range, although there will be a good block of heavier steers [800 - 1000lb] as well.  The vast majority of the cattle have been vaccinated with modified live vaccines, often including added value immunizations for Blackleg, Pasteurella, Somnus , and parasite control.  Char/CharX will represent the largest breed group with significant numbers of Limo, Angus [both red and black], Simm and Hereford influence as well.  As usual, many producers are prepared to guarantee their heifers to be open.
