The 2026 Southern Indiana Angus Association Sale is just around the corner, and we are excited

to again be serving as your sale manager. The sale will once again be held in Little York, IN, on

Saturday, March 28 th at 1 pm.

It is time to select and nominate sale consignments. Attached to this email is the Excel

spreadsheet to nominate your cattle or genetic lots. Be sure to save the file after completion

before attaching and returning it via email. Also, make sure you receive a follow-up email from

us verifying receipt of your nomination. Email the spreadsheet to goldbucklecattle@gmail.com.

a separate form for each animal or lot. If you have received this information and a paper

nomination form and can complete your nomination electronically, contact us for a

spreadsheet to be emailed to you.

As you are considering your nominations, particular care and attention should be given to the

phenotype, age, and reproductive status that will represent you in the sale. Members of the

sales committee and I are available to discuss and view your nominations, taking into

consideration your expectations and goals. Angus bulls, show and replacement

prospects, bred heifers, production females, donors and donor prospects, and genetic lots may

be nominated for the sale.

The nomination deadline will be January 15th, 2026. The deadline for pictures to be included in the catalog is Feb. 1st. Feel free to contact me with questions or if you would like assistance in

selecting your nominations. The success of the sale depends greatly on the quality and

marketability of your offering.

Take note that a new requirement for all bulls that are not selling at the side of the cow must

have genomic enhanced EPD profiles submitted prior to catalog production.

Again in 2026, we will be webcasting the sale with real-time bidding on CCI Live. Professional

pictures and videos of your consignments are crucial for the success of marketing when utilizing

this tool. Brooklyn Graham will be serving as the administrator for CCI Live and is available to

Or feel free to use your own professional livestock photographer. Please name your picture files by your name and the animal’s tattoo number. We reserve the right to reject any photographs or videos for quality.

Please have your photographer contact Brooklyn with formatting information for use on Live

Auctions. Remember the catalog picture deadline of Feb 1 st when scheduling pictures. Pictures of sale lots are encouraged to be emailed to us earlier than the deadlines for use in print and
