For the Seller:

Selling Bulls over 2 years old MUST HAVE A TRICH TEST PAPER provided to the sale barn before the animal is unloaded Bulls under 2 years old (Virgin bulls) do not need test papers
There will be a vet at the sale barn to do pregnancy tests before the sale for your convenience. Pasture exposed animals is not a guarantee.
All animals will be sold by the head, not the pound, unless specified by the seller that the animal is to be sold by the pound.
Have all health papers and immunization papers available for crossing state lines. There will be a vet available to provide buyers with health papers for transportation home.
There will not be any “NO SALE” on animals. If the seller feels they are not getting the price they want, you need to buy back and pay commission. A beginning bid may be suggested by the seller to the auctioneer ahead of time.
Animals may be brought to the sale anytime during the day on April 19th.
The seller may lead their animal into the auction ring if they are halter trained.
No individual names will be used at the sale, but we will use your farm name when giving information about your animal in the ring.
There will be a Highland Auction website available for the seller to place a picture and information about their animal/s. There will be a $10 fee for the farm name. This is a one time fee, not per animal, just for the farm name. You may sell as many animals under that name as you have.
Dear HHCA Member,
The HHCA Officers and Board of Directors are providing its members and anyone who owns Highland cattle from other regions to market their Highlands whether they are registered or unregistered at this auction. It is just another venue that the HHCA is providing for the promotion of the Highland breed.
The auction will be held on Thursday, April 19th at 4 PM at the Norwood Sale Barn, off Hwy. 60 at Norwood, MO, approximately 50 miles east on Hwy. 60 from Springfield, MO Animals can be delivered to the sale barn all day on April 19th as there will be a dairy sale in the morning. There will be a vet on site to ask questions and have animals checked if needed before the sale. The vet will be able to give health papers for transportation across state lines after purchase. Remember to have your TRICH tests with you at time of delivery.
The HHCA will provide an auction website for animals to be showcased on the site. The seller will have to send a picture of the animal with the following information:
For registered Highlands please send: name; date of birth; reg. #; dam, sire, steer, or heifer, open or bred animal and farm name and any information you want listed about that animal. This information will also be used to describe your animal when they are brought into the ring.
The same is optional for unregistered Highlands: it is always good to have some info about your animal, but we do need your farm name if you want their picture on the website.
This site will be used as the auction sale catalog and available to anyone to view. For the seller to use this website catalog, please send the HHCA $10 at the letterhead address. The picture and info will need to be sent by email to
heartlandhighlandcattle@gmail.com The website will be updated regularly as you send in the pictures and info.
Concerning any questions about the auction, contact the chairperson Jerry Delcour at 417.693.0858 or 417.369.0505 or email
hairycows@centurytel.net Please do not send pictures or info to his email address.
Thank you and we hope many of you will be interested in the sale as a seller or buyer. We are looking for many registered and unregistered Highlands there.
Gloria Asmussen HHCA Secretary
