North Iowa Area Community College Agriculture students will sponsor their annual club calf sale at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009, at the NIACC Farm Lab.  The NIACC Farm Lab is located just southwest of the campus, 2 miles east of Mason City on Highway 122. 

Students will display and offer for sale, 15 outstanding club calf prospects, including steers, bulls, market heifers and breeding heifers born this spring.  The cattle can be seen anytime by contacting NIACC Agriculture faculty members.  A free barbecue supper will be provided at 5:30 PM, cattle viewing and inspection anytime and the sale of cattle will be at 6:30 PM. 

NIACC students have bred an exceptional set of calves that should meet the most discriminating club calf buyer’s needs.  The featured sires for this year’s calf crop include: Ali, Monoply, Unforgiven, 6807, I Am Legend, Sun Seeker and Heat Wave.  These A.I. sires represent the leading producers of club calves in the U.S. and have sired many national champions.  NIACC is offering a full sister and 4 full sib embryos to the 2009 Grand Champion Breeding Heifer over all breeds at the Minnesota State Fair.

The “NIACC Club Calf Sale” is sponsored by Agricultural Technology students at NIACC and provides many 4-H and FFA members the opportunity to obtain high quality, show calves for youth projects.  This sale also provides our students with the opportunity to develop marketing skills through their involvement in all phases of planning and executing the sale.  We are confident that buyers will find all of these club calf prospects to be suitable for next seasons show circuit.

We hope that you will join us for this year’s Club Calf Sale on October 14th, and that each of you will have a champion calf.  Sale night phone is 641-529-1764, Larry.
