SALE SUMMARY
|
|
2026 Heifer Tag Sale!
Our sixth year hosting the All-Breeds tag sale
saw outstanding quality from top to bottom,
with some deep, deep pedigreed calves
selling. This year we featured Ayrshire,
Jersey, Red & White Holstein and Holstein
calves. Cow camp youth worked with and
clipped the sale heifers. A special thank you
to Leroy & Lora Wright for putting the final
touches on each heifer. Also appreciated
Emma Parrigon, Lily Bluel and Hannah
Sivils for assisting with video and heifer
photos.
Topping the sale at $4000 was Lot 8 a Parfect
September Fall Calf out of College of the
Ozarks breeding consigned by Nora Penn
and purchased by Callie and Lane Bench,
Arkansas. Lot 8’s granddam was Craz-Ate
Atwood 865 EX-92 and then back to Ashlyn
2E-96. High colored breed was Lot 10 an
Ayrshire Fall Calf consigned by College
of the Ozarks and purchased for $3800 by
Donald Benson. This sweet Ayrshire was
out of Rage and backed by generations of
Palmyra breeding back to Bonnie herself
EX-94.
The Milking Shorthorn Fall Calf consigned
by Jessica Crawley-Graves of Arkansas was
purchased by Katie Wantland for $3400.
The Oakleigh EX-92 family has made many
champions and we will for sure see this Laser
on the tanbark this year. The sale averaged
$2750 with cattle sold to Missouri, Arkansas
and Illinois. Our consignors gave some of
their best and we showcased a great lineup.
We look forward to seeing all of these kids
and calves throughout the summer growing
and learning together.
Thank you to our
Consignors and Buyers

People have been so impressed with the quality of the History Book. Here is just one of the compliments we have received:
"I've been collecting livestock breed history books, especially cattle, for years. Although I haven't had the chance to read
your Missouri Holstein History entirely yet, in my opinion it looks "super great".
It's thorough, big, great layout, and you
know what I like best, the really interesting natural pictures, and lots of them.
...Please congratulate whoever is responsible
for publishing this great "cow" book and continued good fortune to you."
Don Hutzel, Retired Sire Procurement Specialist Genex
"What a marvelous book! The choice of subjects, the excellent writing and editing, the stories themselves,
all combined with the unique lay-out, make this a great "read". You, and all involved with its production
are to be congratulated. It is indeed, special!"
Horace Backus, Renowned Holstein Pedigree Man, Mexico, New York
