Collapse ▲In August 2021, Stokes County producers participated in a Virginia Quality Assurance (VQA) Tel-O Auction with the Patrick County (V.A.) Cattlemen’s Association. This is an opportunity to market quality calves with other producers to offer greater amounts of uniform cattle to buyers. Buyers will pay premiums for large loads of uniform cattle, which has led to premiums of approximately $100/head in the past.
Stokes County producers once again have the opportunity to participate in this sale in January 2022. Calves must meet certain requirements to be consigned to the sale, including being in the weight range of 500 to 900lbs, fully vaccinated according to the below protocol, and have a VQA tag at load out. A grader with the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services will visit any farms that consign to confirm the quality of the calves. Calves are weighed and loaded at Mark Bray’s in Lawsonville, NC.
