IPT Bull Sale Changes Date, Location

[February 22, 2008]  URBANA -- A major electrical problem at the Illinois State Fairgrounds has forced a change in date and location for the 2008 IPT Bull Sale. The event is now scheduled for Feb. 29 at the Interstate Center, located west of Bloomington.

"The center is on the west side of Bloomington and can be easily accessed from Interstate 55 and 74 at Exit 160," said Dave Seibert, University of Illinois Extension animal systems educator. "At Exit 160, take Illinois Route 9 west for three-fourths of a mile to the third stoplight and turn right, into the Interstate Center.

"Also at the Interstate Center will be the 2008 Illinois Beef Expo. The center is a great facility for these events, as all the cattle shows and auctions plus commercial exhibits will be under one roof."

The IPT Bull Sale will be at 11 a.m. on Feb. 29. The Illinois Beef Expo continues through March 2.

For additional information about the IPT Bull Sale, contact Seibert at 309-694-7501, ext. 224.
