Several members of the Ohio Cattlemen’s Association will sell nearly 115 consignments in the OCA Replacement Female Sale set for 6 p.m. Friday (Nov. 23) at Muskingum Livestock Auction Co. in Zanesville, Ohio.

Consignments include about 40 mature cows less than 5 years of age, cow-calf pairs and about 75 bred heifers.

Breeds represented will include Angus, Charolais, Gelbvieh, Red Angus, Simmental, Simmental-influenced, and cross and commercial females. Service sire breeds represented include Angus, Charolais, Gelbvieh, Hereford, Maine-Anjou, Red Angus, Shorthorn, Simmental, and Simmental-influenced. All females being sold will have a safe pregnancy status verified within 60 days of the sale, and all lots will be eligible for interstate shipment.

“Now is a great opportunity for cattlemen to add numbers to their herd or get started in the beef business,” says John Grimes, Ohio State University Extension beef coordinator. “This sale represents an excellent opportunity for cow-calf producers to add quality bred heifers and young cows to their herds.”
