Morningview In Progress!
Reporting from a grassy knoll at the Schmitt Family farm of Morningview Holsteins, Holstein World is enjoying the beautiful day and exciting sale line-up! To this point 26 lots have sold for an average of $14,320.
Leading the way with the top price of the day so far was Lot 1 – Morningview Tstory Amaya-ET VG-86 2y, $75,000. A beautiful young cow that pedigree man Norm Nabholz claimed as being “Inflation Proof”, Amaya sold with an impressive line-up of potential revenue for her new owner, De-Su Holsteins. That package includes embryo and female contracts totaling $55,000, bull contracts to Semex (2 $500,0000 cap leases), Alta (2 $15,000 max), Select ($7,000), CRI (1st Choice) and ABS (wants to talk to new owner) and 2 Socrates heifers.
Amaya’s dam has captured the 2nd high price for the day so far at $45,000 to ALH Genetics, Netherlands. She was Lot 4 – Morningview Oman Annette-ET VG-87 3y. For the number crunchers out there, Annette offspring (heifers, embryos and bulls) have sold for a total of over $300,000 leading up to today and at today’s sale. Annette sold open and ready to flush. Her dam is Morningview Mtoto April VG-89 GMD DOM, then Gibbon Judy (VG-85 GMD DOM) and the namesake for today’s sale, Converse Judy EX-93 GMD DOM.
