2nd OCA Replacement Female Sale a Success - John F. Grimes, OSU Extension Beef Coordinator

The Ohio Cattlemen's Association (OCA) held their first Replacement Female Sale on November 28 at the Muskingum Livestock Auction Company in Zanesville, Ohio. A large crowd was on hand to bid on 88 high quality females in the sale. The sale represented an excellent opportunity for cow-calf producers to add quality females with documented breeding and health records to their herds and potentially take advantage of the positive economic outlook for the beef industry.

Buyers had the opportunity to appraise 88 lots of bred heifers, bred cows, and fall-calving pairs. The sale included 52 lots of bred heifers that averaged $2,557, 29 lots of bred cows that averaged $2,580, and seven fall-calving pairs which averaged $2,971. The 88 total lots grossed $228,600 for an overall average of $2,598. Prices ranged from $1,200 to $3,700. The females sold to buyers from Ohio and West Virginia. Col.
