Welcome to the Colby Community College 2025 Annual Bull Test and Sale! I would like to start off thanking you for your I would like to start off thanking you for your support of CCC Beef Production Program, students, and consignors! This sale offers more than quality cattle with a solid genetic foundation; it also provides buyers with valuable information most sales cannot offer. At the CCC Beef Unit, we utilize GrowSafe Systems, Vytelle Sense, to collect essential animal feed and water intake data. GrowSafe allows us to gain more accurate information on how efficient our cattle are individually. This data is vital when faced with drought condi- tions when we must be more conservative with feed to decrease production costs. With persistent drought conditions, raising durable and efficient animals becomes critical and saves the producer money. CCC is uniquely positioned to pro- vide specific efficiency data from the broad scope of breeds represented. The majority of the yearling bulls remain on the Growsafe System from the time they arrive in early November until they leave the CCC Beef Unit. In addition to providing producers with added efficiency data, the bull test allows students interested in the beef industry to gain valuable hands-on experience. CCC students are responsible for every aspect of the bull test and sale, from initially receiving the consignor bulls until they walk into the sale ring. This is a straightforward practice of the College’s Mission, which is to: Challenge students to adapt to a diverse society. Create opportunities for student growth. Connect student learning with professional experiences. By communicating directly with producers and other industry professionals, CCC students develop meaningful profes- sional relationships and better understand what they will experience in their agricultural careers. With society drifting further away from agriculture, it becomes even more crucial for technical programs such as the CCC Beef Production Program to teach the next generation the importance of sustainable agriculture. We look forward to seeing you on sale day, March 21st! Thank you in advance for your support, guidance, and business.

I have had many wonderful experiences and learning opportunities during my time at Colby Community College in the Beef Production Program. I particularly loved partaking in the CCC Bull Test and Sale. My favorite part of the CCC Bull Test and Sale is the opportunity to meet with various producers and learn about their operations. I have also enjoyed observing the progression of the bulls from the day they arrive at the CCC Beef Unit until the day they leave. I am pleased with the development I have seen with every bull in our sale. I cannot wait to see and talk to you at the CCC Bull Sale.
