As the No. 1 resource for premium whitetail sales in Texas, the Texas Deer Association (TDA) has announced plans to host its 21st Century Deer Management Workshop and the TDA Superior Genetics Whitetail Deer Auction, which is the one of the most highly anticipated deer auctions in the state. Both events will be held at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo on Friday, February 13, 2009, and will attract more than 1,000 deer breeders, whitetail enthusiasts, ranchers and exhibitors. Plus, auction participation will also be available on-line.

The TDA Superior Genetics Whitetail Deer Auction at the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo begins at 2 p.m. and will feature 125 consignment lots from some of the finest deer breeders in the state. The auction will also include ‘Blue Ribbon’ selections showcasing the Top 25 percent highest-scoring lots. Earlier this year, the February 2008 auction event attracted nearly 1,000 TDA members, ranch owners and deer breeders and generated more than $1.2 million.
Deer enthusiasts and breeders who are unable to attend the auction in person, can participate and bid online at www.LiveDeerSales.com.
“Our Superior Genetics Whitetail Deer Auction in August was a huge success this year and we anticipate 2009 will be even better,” says Damon Thorpe, auction manager for the Texas Deer Association. “The Superior Genetics Auction always showcases some of the state’s best whitetail deer.”

The 21st Century Deer Management Workshop, co-hosted by Purina Mills, begins at 9 a.m.
