Herd knowledge, experience, and the addition of trusted genetics can take a beef cattle herd into new beginnings.--> Illinois Performance Tested Bull Sale, Feb. 20, 11 AM
--> 2025 Sale Catalog: iptbullsale.com/
Start off the year by attending the annual Illinois Performance Tested Bull Sale at 11 a.m. on Feb. 20 at the Illinois State Fairgrounds in Springfield. The sale helps kick off the 2025 Illinois Beef Expo, where families, including many Illinois 4-H members, spend the week learning skills and showing their cattle.
During the past 56 years, 4,997 bulls have sold for over $9.5 million dollars through the IPT bull sale. Dedicated breeders and commercial cow-calf producers have trusted the bull sale to become a proven leader for proven genetics and the latest evaluation technologies and practices.
The sale format includes availability to view all bulls as they will be on display for buyer inspection before the sale. The sale will take place in the Artisans Building, where attendees will view videos of bulls shown during the live auction instead of running through the sale ring. Halter-broke, as well as docile, non-halter-broke bulls are eligible. All non-haltered cattle will be screened for disposition before the sale.
Sale order and qualifications are determined by performance in multi-trait economic selection indexes. The sale order is based on each breed's % Rank for a maternal and a terminal Dollar Value Index. Index data can be found in the sale catalog at the link above.
