A Charolais-influence feeder sale was held today at Heartland Livestock in Yorkton, in conjunction with the regular sale of catte.
The Charolais segment was an opportunity for area producers using the breed in their program to have their feeder calves pre-sorted in lots of similar size, sex and genetics to make them more appealing to buyers who like cattle in groups that can be maintained through transport and in the feedlot.
The Charolais-influenced pens started the sale under the gavel of auctioneer Clayton Hawreluik.
Are Charolais breeders Neilson Cattle Company from Willowbrook, and Sliding Hills Charolais of Canora were on-hand to promote the breed, and to offer coffee and cinnamon buns to sale attendees.
Overall the sale saw more than 2,600 cattle, including the Charolais influenced feeders, sold at the sale.
