Sale week is progressing at warp speed at Kingsmill Farm II. The week’s flush activity took place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for March
calves with good results. Embryos that were frozen for later implantation can soon be viewed on the embryo page of www.kingsmillfarmii.com.

The Kingsmill showstring is in place at the North Carolina State Fairgrounds. Approximately 115 lots will sell in the sale and they are shaping up nicely under the direction of Joel Phoenix and his crew. All show and sale events are being held in the spacious Jim Graham building where air conditioning protects the 100,000 square feet of exhibition space from the warm North Carolina temperatures. Many sale guests and sale staff members will arrive today and details surrounding the sale are being shored up.

Exciting late breaking updates for the sale cattle include yesterday’s classification at the farm of the host, Kingsmill. The dam of Lot 28, Topaz, is now EX-93 and really looks the part, as does the dam of Lot 113, Robust, at EX-91, making this consignment a potential 15th generation EX. Duchess, a Durham from Chief Adeen is now VG-88
in her 1st lactation and is the dam of Lot 37, while Addella-Red, the Advent sister to Della-Red is now EX-91 and is the dam of Lot 117.

Tomorrow, June 6, is the open house at the farm and sale at the fairgrounds. If you can’t attend the sale, be sure to check out all the action live online beginning at 4 pm.
