Sale staff member Robert Yeoman takes a seat to hash out some pre-sale plans.

Alan Dykshorn analyzes the heifer calf line-up. Alan arranged for several head to make the trip north to Iowa.

Brett Esau of Hesston, KS, visits with sale attendees. Brett and his family - Don, Jane and Brandon - of Har-Dee Holsteins have partnered with Kevin on several animals over the years and were all on hand for sale day. Some lots, including the high seller, were owned in partnership with the Esaus.

A full tent of attendees gathered from across Kansas and surrounding states. Animals were sold to 14 states.

It was a long drive but definitely worth it! I enjoyed traveling to Kansas with my parents, Loren & Laura Olson, and my little girl - Aubree! You’ll notice what an impact driving can have on a person.
