National Heifer Sale is an annual event, a highlight of the AJCA / NAJ Annual Meetings each summer. This year’s event is in East Peoria, Ill. We look forward to visiting with the Jersey breeders who are able to attend, and will miss those who cannot.

National Heifer Sale will be an all virtual event again this year and will be broadcast LIVE on JerseyAuctionLive.com, beginning at 7:30 p.m. (CDT) on June 26, 2015. The NHS catalog can be viewed online, including a lot that was added after the printing of the catalog.
