Welcome to the Spring 2013 OBI All-Breed Performance-Tested Bull Sale. The Oklahoma BEEF,
Incorporated staff, board of directors and breeder participants truly appreciate your interest in our
program.
Since its inception in 1973, OBI has grown into the second largest performance bull testing station
in the U.S. Over the last 40 years, cattle breeders representing 17 breeds and bull buyers from 23
states and Mexico have benefited from the performance testing of over 22,000 bulls at the station.
We pride ourselves in offering the very best in professional service to our member breeders as
well as to other seedstock producers who desire to use our facility to glean individual performance
information on their bulls. Our goal from the very start of Oklahoma BEEF, Incorporated has been
to provide a standardized, highly credible post-weaning gain testing environment to accurately
measure the genetic merit for post-weaning average daily gain, weight per day of age and yearling
weight of seedstock bulls.
If you plan to attend the sale, thank you for taking of your time to attend our special event; we
hope that you find the breeding stock to fulfill your needs. If you cannot attend but still would like
to purchase bulls, feel free to contact Dr. Bob Kropp or Tim Stidham. Your bids will be managed
in strict confidentiality. Internet bidding will be available via the DVAuction website.
