Hello American Aberdeen Enthusiasts, We are honored to announce that we will be assisting the American Aberdeen Association and its member ship with the annual National American Aberdeen Sale at the National Western Stock Show in Denver. The 2019 National American Aberdeen Sale will be held on Thursday, January 24th, 2019 at 1 pm MST. Our team, James Danekas & Associates has been in the business for over forty years managing seedstock cattle sales throughout the country. As a family, we are also Aberdeen enthusiasts and proud owners of a few head. We believe in the breed and look forward to contributing to its promotion and growth. We are excited to work with the National American Aberdeen Association Sale Committee in implementing a few changes to better 2019’s event! Please see changes being implemented below: • A presale social will be held prior to the sale outside the Pepsi Arena. All sale animals will be displayed at this time giving potential buyers time to view the cattle and meet with the consignors. • Sale entry fee has been increased to $150. All entry fees will be applied to final sale expenses. • A sift process will be implemented at entry time by the Sale Committee. The National American Aberdeen Sale has been known for elite genetics and this process will help maintain that this event remains the upper echelon of American Aberdeen sales. The committee will look at both pedigree and photo(s) of the entry to determine if the combined quality of both fit the bill for the 2019 sale. If an animal is reject- ed, the entire entry fee will be refunded. With this being said, start early! Make sure you begin getting condition on entries and if you need assistance in achieving quality photos, we have supplied a list of livestock photographers that are located throughout the country in the entry packet. Each entry must have two photos submitted with entry – digital files only (photos may or may not be used in catalog de pending on photo quality). • Entries will be due by November 1st, 2018 to ensure the catalog is received 30 days prior to the auction. • Just a reminder – all entries must be entered in the National Western Aberdeen Show. Entry forms are available at www.nationalwestern.com Entry deadline is November 15. A link for this entry form will also be available on our website next to the sale entry forms. Entries are open to high quality registered American Aberdeen Fullbloods, American Aberdeen Moderators and American Aberdeen + cattle. *Reminder: All National Sale cattle must be DNA verified to their American Aberdeen lineage. Again, we are very excited to be a part of this superb event. We look forward to working with you and having a successful 2019 sale!
