Seedstock Merchandising 101
Published Thursday, March 27, 2008 at 05:07 PM
Getting an opportunity to learn firsthand how to put-on a cattle sale is a rare undertaking, especially in college. It's one Toby Pollock, a senior Animal Science major at Colorado State University, thought would be important experience. The 10 seedstock merchandising team members take on the tasks of fitting the cattle, taking the pictures for the sale catalog, contacting past and potential buyers about the 32nd Annual Bull Sale. Pollock believes experience will help him beyond his college days.

Beyond planning for the sale, part of the learning experience included showing 6 bulls at the National Western Stock Show, representing CSU at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association Convention in Reno and assisting with the Beef Range Cow Symposium.

CSU's annual production sale is this Saturday, March 29th at ARDEC. The team will be selling 33 Angus and Herefords bulls and 12 Angus and crossbred heifers.
