Recommendations for successful sales:
Vaccinated calves sell better! We recommend that your calves are processed according to the LMA Vacc Program Certification or the Minnesota Pre-Conditioning Certificate guidelines. These forms are available by clicking on the Upload Forms button. Fill out the information and bring the forms when dropping off your feeders. Your information will then be read from the auction block before your feeders are sold.
