JK-Stranshome Luau Sale Highlights!

Friday, June 25th, 2010

The tropical theme dominated in Owatonna, MN as a large crowd gathered at Stranshome Holsteins for the JK-Stranshome Luau Sale on Friday, June 25th! The sale featured individuals from the Elegance, Renita, Maui, Paradise, Roxy, Tony Beauty, Ashlyn and Della cow families as well as many guest consignments from friends of the Stranskys and Kietzmans. The high type individuals were well appreciated as the sale averaged $4,736 on 101 lots.

The last animal through the ring garnered the highest price on the day at $17,300. Stranshome Gold Absolute-ET, a growthy, fancy, full-age summer yearling out of an EX-93 Aspen dam, was in high demand and MilkSource Genetics of Kaukauna, WI claimed her with the final bid.

Luau Lot 93

A pair of striking winter calves – one red & white and one black & white – took the ring at the same time and drew spirited bidding from the crowd. Lot 73 – Strans-Jen-D Adv Raquel-Red, the winning winter calf at the Midwest Spring National R&W Show – is out of a VG-86 Talent dam then five more VG & EX dams going all the way back to C Continental Scarlet-Red EX-95 3E GMD. Consigned by Reid Stransky and Jeni Dingbaum, Raquel was purchased by Stoutjesdyk, Hongslo & Birklotz, IA for $15,500.

The other winter calf mentioned above also had plenty of interest as she circled the ring with the red Raquel heifer. Stranshome Dundee Daisy-ETwas the winning Winter Calf at the Midwest National Spring Show earlier this year. Out of a just fresh Stormatic that is a maternal sister to Vandyk-K Integrity Paradise (2E-96), Daisy was consigned by Joseph, Zach, Jerome & Darian Stransky and was purchased for $14,900 by Allyn, Heath and Heida.

Luau Lot 54

Bringing $15,200 was Lake-Prairie Kite Anika-ET – a 9/08 Kite due 9/1/10 to Redliner out of Budjon Rubens Annette (EX-90), then a VG-87 Encore, then EX-96 3E Budjon Stardust Anisa-ET. Anika has been quite successful in the show ring as the 1st place Fall Yearling at the 2010 Midwest National Spring Show and last year was the All-Minnesota Fall Calf. Consigned by Stransky, Rottinghaus and Woods, Anika was purchased by Jeff Woods, WI.
Luau Lot 78

Anika’s red maternal sister by Advent followed right behind bringing $15,000 from Eastside Holsteins, PEI. Lake Prairie Advent Ava-Red (VG-87) was consigned by her breeder, Megan Herberg of St. Peter, MN.

A sizeable part of the crowd then traveled three miles down the road for the Choice Sale and Dinner. 15 lots were sold and topping that sale at $39,500 was Lot N1 – a First Choice Female from two Goldwyn heifers due in December, 2010 out of Stadacona Outside Abel (VG-88-CAN) – making this a full sister to the All-American and All-Canadian Eastside Lewisdale Gold Missy (VG-89-CAN), who sold for $1.2 million in last fall’s Morsan Sale.

Consigned by Budjon Farms, Joel Kietzman and Charlie Bean, the choice was purchased by Jordan & Whitney Ebert of WI.

Luau choices
The crowd enjoyed dinner and cocktails during the sale and many stayed on for the dancing afterwards. The Stranskys and Kietzmans are renowned for their hospitality and the whole day only served to reinforce that reputation!

Luau dads
Dads in action! Joel Kietzman and Reid Stransky and assorted Kietzman and Stransky children prepare for the drawing – each buyer on the day was eligible to win a 5 day/ 4 night trip to Hawaii!

National Guernsey Convention Sale

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

The National Guernsey Convention Sale took place yesterday, June 21st, at Warwick Manor Farm in East Earl, PA. It averaged $4,153 on 41 live lots. Below are some scenes and highlights from the exciting event.


It was a beautiful day for a sale! Here is a look down at the sale tents and Warwick Manor Farm.


The first animal through the ring was lot 2 – Sniders Yogi Anise-ET, a daughter of Cedar Fringed Altann (EX-95). She sold for $10,100 to Joe Piskorowski of Ithaca, NY. Altann was Grand Champion at World Dairy Expo in 2000 and Harrisburg in 2000 and 2001; she currently has 5 sons on the Active A.I. list, including the top two; and she has numerous Excellent daughters, granddaughters and great-granddaughters! At 14-year-old, Altann can still be found in the Snider Homestead barn and was one of the highlights of the farm tour convention goers took there.


Indian Acres N Cutie Pie was the top seller at $15,000. The first, and probably only daughter of Indian Acres MM Pistachio Pie (EX-94) to sell in public auction will stay in East Earl, PA, since she was purchased by Warwick Manor Farm and Hollow View Farm! The contending bid was from Richard Green and Mike Hellenbrand. She was consigned by Ashley Sears of South Deerfield, MA.

Travel Tips from Minnesota

Monday, June 21st, 2010

Our final installment from the Minnesota Juniors comes as they are preparing to greet convention attendees in just a few days. Past President Molly Neil sends us her greetings and provides some travel tips. See you soon!

Hey Juniors -

Convention is only days away!! Have you started packing yet? I would suggest something cool. According to the weather forecast, the temperature is supposed to be in the mid 80′s. There are some chances of rain for Saturday and Sunday morning, so bring along those umbrellas to the farm tours. You may get a little wet.

The weather looks gorgeous for the remainder of the convention! Make sure to pack that sunscreen and bug spray, you’ll need it to fight off our state bird – the mosquito! Between the Amazing Race on Sunday, Valleyfair on Monday and the beautiful outdoor Twins stadium on Tuesday, you’ll need your sun glasses and lots of energy.

Lastly, don’t forget to pack some great fashions for our dances. We will be having a Beach Bash and Wild West hoedown. So grab your grass skirt, cowboy hat and of course your dancing shoes, because with so many great new friends, you won’t want to miss out. There are so many activities for you to be a part of that there will never be a dull moment.

Packing list:
- Sunscreen
- Umbrella
- Bug repellant
- Sunglasses
- Beach bash clothes
- Wild West clothes
- Comfortable shoes
- Cool clothes

Are you hooked? We are!

See you soon!

Molly
