OKC West to Host OCA Board Meeting & Cattle Sale on Nov. 1
Mon, 14 Oct 2013 15:40:38 CDT
The Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association's Fall Cattle Drive and Fourth Quarterly Board of Directors Meeting will take place on Friday, Nov. 1. OKC West Stockyards located near El Reno, Okla. will host the events.
The board of directors meeting, open to all OCA members, begins at 10 a.m., followed by lunch. The Fall Cattle Drive Special Replacement Female Sale will begin at 1 p.m. This is the 14th year for the OCA to hold the Fall Cattle Drive. This event was established to offer a service to OCA members and cattle producers across the state, just like many other OCA events.
"While many of our producers raise tremendous purebred cattle and breeding stock, the Fall Cattle Drive is primarily to market quality commercial cattle," stated Richard Gebhart, OCA President. "This special auction is not a production sale for large commercial ranches, but rather a tool for OCA members to showcase the improvements they have made in their commercial cattle and help them earn a premium for their hard work," continued Gebhart.
There are currently about 400 head of early consignments. The OCA will take consignments until auction day. If you would like to consign cattle to the OCA Fall Cattle Drive, you can download a consignment form at http://www.okcattlemen.org/ocafallcattledrive.aspx or call the OCA office at 405-235-4391. You must be an OCA member to consign cattle to the sale; however, OCA membership is not required to buy or bid on cattle.
The OCA exists to support and defend the state and nation's beef cattle industry. For more information about OCA membership or activities visit www.okcattlemen.org.
