Four States Ag Expo 2012 Bull & Heifer Sale: Lower Rates & New Terms
The Four States Ag Expo has announced lower rates and more attractive terms for the March 17, 2012 Bull and Heifer Sale, which will be held in conjunction with the Ag Expo’s thirtieth (yes, that's 30!) anniversary show running March 15-18.
The updated sale structure includes a lower nomination fee of $100 and a pen fee of $25/animal. Also new for 2012, 100% of the nomination fee will be credited toward the sale commission or no-sale fee. Ag Expo president Dusty Beals commented, “With these terms, we’re creating a way for the buyer to get excellent breeding stock while giving the consignor full exposure through Ag Expo media as well as a reasonably priced way to sell. This is the sale to hold back your bulls for. Everyone wins.”
In addition to favorable terms, every consigning ranch will:
· Be mentioned in sale-specific advertising and publicity
· Given a live link to their ranch from the Ag Expo website
· Receive immediate placement in the online sale catalog
Benefits begin upon payment of full nomination and pen fees, so consignors are urged to register early to begin enjoying the advertising advantages.
The nomination and catalog entry deadline is March 1. The Ag Expo Bull & Heifer Sale will be handled by Southern Colorado Livestock Auction, but consignments should be registered through the Ag Expo. The catalog will be online in downloadable pdf format at www.FourStatesAgExpo.com; it will be updated as entries arrive.

Four States Ag Expo Adds a Board Member and Announces Chairs for 2012 Show
At the regular June 15, 2011 meeting, the Four States Ag Expo updated the board of directors and announced chairs for the 30th anniversary show in 2012.
The Ag Expo was pleased to welcome back Don Bain, part of the management team at Central Implement, ag and consumer equipment specialists. Don is no stranger to the Ag Expo.

The Ag Expo board put Don to work right away. In fact, the organization is wasting no time in planning for the next show, with Vice-President Keith Echols naming this year’s committee chairs: All-Breeds Bull & Heifer Sale—Dusty Beals; CSU Ag Adventure—LeeAnn Milligan; Grounds—Don Bain; Publicity and Vendors—Elizabeth Testa; Shuttles—Frank Thomas; Volunteers—Jessie Lenhardt.
