The University of Wisconsin-Platteville Pioneer Farm will host the 68th Annual Wisconsin Beef Improvement Association (WBIA) Bull Sale on Saturday, April 5, at 11:00 a.m. The sale will offer a variety of high-quality yearling bulls for sale.

The WBIA has conducted and overseen a performance bull test each year since 1957 and remains the longest running bull test in the country. Since 1970, young beef bulls from all over Wisconsin and throughout the Midwest have been brought by top beef breeders to UW-Platteville Pioneer Farm. Bull prospects are developed on a forage-based ration with their performance measured over a 100-day period.

The top 60-70 bulls are selected and sold at auction on the first Saturday in April at the UW-Platteville Pioneer Farm Beef Center. The sale is also broadcast over DVAuction, providing the opportunity to preview, watch and bid online.
