On May 9, the University of Florida (UF) hosted their 6th Annual Bull and Heifer Sale on Cattle in Motion. There were more than 3,000 views, with a total of 1,128 bids from three states. The 15 bulls were in great demand and averaged $7,233. The 16 yearling heifers averaged $4,844. The high selling bull (Lot 9) sold to Saucer 7 Ranch of Bagwell, Texas, for $19,100. The high-selling yearling heifer (Lot 31) went to S4 Brahmans in Evergreen, Louisiana, for $10,300.
Coincidentally, these two lots were full siblings, and both were record highs for the annual sale. The volume buyer was Indian Prairie Canal Cattle Company of Okeechobee, Florida, with the purchase of three heifers and one bull. Proceeds from this sale go to support UF teaching, research, and Extension programs in the Department of Animal Sciences.
