The cattle business is unpredictable. The weather can change on a moment’s notice when you’re calving or weaning. It’s always a race to get the hay put up before the rain falls. Markets do the darndest things. Then, a bull comes up a little gimpy. As more than one rancher has observed, “It always happens when you’re short on time.”

BEEF magazine developed our seedstock database and directory resources to help you identify new sources of genetics. In just a few clicks, you have at your fingertips:

Seedstock 100 database: This lists the top 100 bull sellers in the United States. This list tells you when those operations have their sales and if they sell bulls private treaty. Gimpy bulls happen. This list helps you identify a new bull seller if you need one in a hurry.
Seedstock Directory: This list highlights many of the elite bull sellers in the United States. Not only are these operations located throughout the country, but they have a wide variety of genetics.

The fall bull sales season is underway and the spring bull sales are closer than you think.
