The Livestock Merchandising Class at North Carolina State University will be holding its second annual Wolfpack Roundup on Saturday April 12, 2014 at 11:00 am at the Beef Educational Unit.
There will be an open house at each of the Educational Units that have animals on the sale April 5 from 1 pm till 4 pm to view the sale animals.
The sale will consist of one Registered Angus and four commercial heifers from the Beef Educational Unit; three bred ewes, two purebred Katahdin ewes, and one purebred Dorset ram from the Small Ruminant Educational Unit; five yearling geldings from the Equine Educational Unit, and three mares from the NCSU Vet School.
This sale is being conducted by members of the Livestock Merchandising class. The class was started to give students the opportunity to learn about different method available to merchandise livestock. They also gain hands-on experience through promoting and conducting a livestock auction. This is a great opportunity to add to the genetics of your operation and help further the education of the agricultural leaders of tomorrow.
