CSU Seedstock Merchandising Uses Stock Show To Teach Students

The Seedstock Marketing Team at Colorado State University is where classroom knowledge meets real-world cattle marketing. Students lead the charge in selecting, managing, and promoting elite seedstock cattle—gaining hands-on experience that prepares them for careers across the beef industry.

That work comes to life at CSU’s upcoming annual cattle sale, where student-marketed bulls and females backed by strong genetics, performance data, and careful management are offered to producers. From sale promotion to show-ring preparation, the team is involved every step of the way.

The result? Quality cattle, confident students, and a tradition of excellence that continues to raise the bar for the next generation of agricultural leaders.

Be sure to take in the 49th Annual CSU Bull & Female Sale

Our Annual CSU Bull and Female Sale is one example of how our AnSci students are an integral part of our outreach and engagement programming. Our students who are enrolled in the Seedstock Merchandising courses participate in the selection and preparation of our animals and develop and promote our marketing materials.

• February 21, 2026
• 11 AM MST
• CSU-ARDEC, Fort Collins, Colorado
