The third annual Seedstock Plus Arkansas Bull Sale was held as a standalone sale for the first time as the Four State Classic Sale moved to an April date. A tremendous crowd was on hand to evaluate a solid set of range-ready bulls and resulted in the highest sale averages since the inception of the Seedstock Plus Arkansas Bull Sale. Bulls were developed at Rose Bud Feeders, LLC in Rose Bud, Arkansas, and are sold with most comprehensive data and customer service in the industry. Bulls sold at a rapid pace to new and repeat customers mostly in the four state area of Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana.
