The Reflections of Rosedale sale took place on Friday, July 31st – a picture perfect summer day in Wisconsin. A huge crowd gathered in Oxford to be part of the sale and to enjoy the hospitality! At the end of the day, 68 female lots and choices unofficially averaged $5,854.

The beautiful and inventive circular sale ring featured a fountain in the middle and four cow statues painted with the markings of the Rosedale matriarchs: Blackrose, Redrose, Paradise and Ideal.

Here is Paradise decked out with her Expo Supreme Champion trappings!

Lunch was provided before the sale as well as other refreshments. People came early and stayed all day to appreciate the sale cattle as well as the Rosedale herd.

Mark Rueth and Nicky Reape welcome everyone to the sale with sale manager Rick Bovre, auctioneer John Copithorne and pedigree man Norman Nabholz looking on.

Several items were auctioned off at the start of the sale to benefit the Klussendorf Scholarship fund.

High seller on the day and the focus of much attention was Lot 1A – Rosedale Golden Girl-ET – a 3/1/09 *RC Goldwyn daughter of Lavender Ruby Redrose-Red (3E-96). Redrose was the Supreme Champion at World Dairy Expo in 2005 and again was Grand Champion of the Grand International Red & White Show in 2007.
