From a Simmental perspective, the fixture will again be for all classes of pedigree Simmental Females, and with a section for pedigree Simmental Weaned Calves born in the 2025 year. Following the successful introduction last year, there will also be a section of Simmental X High Health Heifers.
In further comments John Barlow encouraged Simmental breeders to take early aim at entering quality Simmental females and calves at this joint sale day fixture, and said: “From the outset the Next Generation Simmental Sale has set its stall out to attract pedigree Simmental cattle full of style, quality, and with a depth of bloodlines. This year is the fifth staging and the sale is establishing itself as the premier Simmental female sale with quality animals meeting a ready demand. This new platform will take the sale a further step forward and we really look forward to breeders supporting it with a top Simmental entry.”
So an important date change, and one very much for your diaries.
