Jessica Rose of the Penn State Dairy Science Club shared with us several pictures from this weekend’s 25th Silver Anniversary Nittany Lion Fall Classic. The success of the sale can be contributed to great consignments from the consignors, a large crowd of bidders and the hard work of the PHA sale management and Penn State Dairy Science Club. Congrats on a great sale - a wonderful way to celebrate the 25th Anniversary!
