CSU Bull Sale Catalog

Seedstock Merchandising Team

Greetings from the team, The 2016-2017 Colorado State University Seedstock Team would like to say thank you for your support and interest in the 41st Annual Bull Sale. In the fall, the team dove in with selection of bulls, training and preparation for the National Western Stock Show. The team also attended the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association Mid-Winter Meeting in Denver and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association Convention and Trade Show in Nashville. Each of these experiences was unforgettable, and we are thankful for everyone who made them possible. Upon returning from Nashville, the team began picturing and preparing the remaining bulls for the sale. We would like to thank previous team members, CSU employees and others who helped make this year possible. We could not have done it without all the help and generous support from others. Follow the team on Instagram and Facebook to see information, pictures and future team accomplishments. We hope you enjoy the sale and find exactly what you are looking for. Thank you again! Sincerely, The 2016-2017 Seedstock Merchandising Team
