Kansas Ag Connection - 02/23/2017

Kansas State University's Animal Sciences and Industry Department will host the Legacy Sale on March 3 at the Stanley Stout Center in Manhattan. This marks the 40th anniversary of the student-managed sale.

This year's offering includes 43 Angus, 12 Simmental and 13 Hereford yearling bulls as well as 46 bred registered females and two heifers. The bulls to be sold rank in the top 20 percent of all three breeds designated for calving ease, weaning weight and end product merit.

Prior to the sale will be the 104th Annual Cattlemen's Day. New K-State President Richard Myers will kick off the event sharing his vision for the university. Barry Flinchbaugh, K-State professor emeritus, will share his thoughts regarding agriculture policy in a new federal administration. Both presentations will set the stage for the rest of the day with the theme of "Beef Cattle Economics Trilogy: Beef Industry Outlook, Drivers of Profitability and Better Use of Farm Management Budgets."
