Last night the Morsan Mountain High II Sale event was kicked off in grand fashion with complimentary cocktails, wine and hors d’ oeuvres. I don’t know exactly what I was expecting when I arrived…but the night definitely exceeded my expectations! The cattle looked ready to walk in the ring, sale staff were easy to find in black collared button-down shirts and the atmosphere was filled with anticipations for today’s sale.

I first traveled to Alberta when I was 13-years-old with my dad and brother as we visited farms up and down the province. The cows and people left a lasting impression of quality and kindness then, and that has certainly not changed in the last decade! I have to send a couple special notes of thanks to the Lexi, Ella, Carol and Don Wright of the Cowsmopolitan and Marian Vanderwal of Cedarwal Farms in Abbotsford, B.C. for their help in transportation and babysitting…that’s right, Aubree is serving as my assistant this week.

The sale begins today at 11:00 am, followed by a banquet at the Capri-Centre hotel. Speaking of the hotel, it is quite nice and very accomodating. When arriving in our room we were greeted by a note of welcome from Morris Thalen of Morsan and a sweet little candy gift. A very welcome treat when you get in at 11:30 pm!

Here are some pictures to give you an idea of the facilities and cattle that will be a part of the sale today. To say that the Morsan crew went “all out” for this year’s sale doesnt begin to describe it. Everything is done to perfection and with the utmost professionalism. The pre-sale preview of 20 lots was reminiscent of World Dairy Expo…turned down lights, spotlight and music selected to highlight each lot as she walked around the ring. For example, Lot 53 Morsan For The Love of Fronten is the Fortune daughter of Quality Sept S Fronten, next dam is Frantisco…so she walked in to Queen’s “We Are the Champions”. This is just the tip of the iceberg for the quality this sale has. Needless to say, Im really excited to be here and see how the sale goes!

It was another corker of a sale Wednesday night at the Kalahari Resort in Wisconsin Dells, WI. The Wisconsin Futures featured first choice lots from many of the breed’s most prominent cow families. As at the Wisconsin Nationals sale the night before, Tom Morris managed the event and handled the auctioneering duties while Horace Backus read pedigrees. At the end of the evening, 39 lots grossed $405,700 for an average of $10,403 - both National Convention based sales achieved the rarified five figure average mark.

After the sit down meal, the sale began and each catalog page was displayed on two large screens.

A gorgeous and creative sale ring. Wisconsin pride resonated throughout the afternoon and evening with members of the UW-Wisconsin Badger marching band serenading the crowd during the dinner and the red ‘W’ popping up everywhere.

More delightful flower displays welcomed guests to the sale tent.

More than 1800 people took part in the pre-sale meal sponsored by Accelerated Genetics.

Standing room only at the sale tent - 1,000 chairs were not enough!

An absolutely perfect summer evening in Wisconsin left plenty of opportunity to sit outside the tent and also to do a little socializing.

Sale ring decor was handled by Julie Brown - thanks, Julie, for sending us this photo! The colors were just beautiful and the air-conditioned facilities were very comfortable in the 90+ degree heat. Notice the cameras set up on tripods in either corner of the ring? Those are the cameras that taped the sale for real-time posting online! DVAuction was there taking bids. I spoke with Bob Atkinson after the sale…he shared these impressive results:

335 people viewed the sale online from all across the country - California to New Jersey…and abroad in Switzerland!
Over 100 Internet bids were placed - 3 resulted in successful buys.

I may be biased, but with the advances in technology (i.e. high speed Internet being more readily available to people everywhere) and the soaring gas prices, watching auctions online and bidding will become much more common in the years ahead.

Before the first lot walked into the ring, Ed Fellers talked about the breed’s newest 14th generation Excellent - Astrahoe Raleigh Lee Robust *TR *TL EX-91 EX-MS EEVEE. Once the sale got going, Robust’s 1st Choice Female by a Mutually Agreeable Sire was sold to Norm Nabholz & Jeff Woods for $18,100.

Here are several smaller versions of photos I took. If you’d like to view a larger version, just click on the photo!

The Pinehurst-Fieldstone Complete Dispersal was held Thursday evening, May 29th at The Bull at Pinehurst Farms Golf Course. A large crowd attended the sale managed by Burton & Fellers, which achieved a superb average of $7,284 on 67 lots.

Entrance to the golf course, which was constructed on the Pinehurst Farms acreage. The course has been open since 2003.

The beautiful clubhouse.

Next to the Clubhouse stands the Heritage House Event Center. Before the Pinehurst-Fieldstone Dispersal, Sonny Bartel sold off over 100 lots of Holstein Memorabilia - mainly consisting of sale catalogs from the past seven decades as well as numerous history books and other items of interest. The bidding was quite active for many lots. The top seller at $750 was a marked Mount Victoria Dispersal catalog from the historic 1942 sale. Second-high at $700 was a partially marked Dunloggin sale catalog.

The Pinehurst-Fieldstone Dispersal Sale was held in a tent placed in between the Clubhouse and the Heritage House. The cattle were trailered in from Fieldstone about a dozen at a time for their final polish before entering the sale ring.

Trailers parked next to the putting green.

The 2nd Annual Fieldstone Holstein Golf Open was held the morning of the sale. The view from the clubhouse balcony overlooks the gorgeous course.

Our very own Julie Brown has arrived in North Carolina to help with pre-sale work for the Night at Kingsmill Sale. Follow along with her this week on the blog as they get ready for another fantastic event!

This week at Kingsmill-
I arrived in Raleigh on Monday to work with the great team at Kingsmill getting ready for the Night at Kingsmill Sale event slated for this Friday, June 6, at 4 pm. When I arrived at the farm, herdsman Johnny Brooks gave me a quick tour. He was in the middle of cows calving, giving shots for flushes, working with the crew getting cattle ready for the sale, and day to day management-a full slate for anyone. He showed me the cows. I also saw something I had not seen- the calf barn, a 65ft X 288ft structure that had around 90 elite-pedigreed heifers inside.

We drove over to the farm, also looking at donors and a highlight which I will not soon forget was seeing 21 IVF heifers in hutches who had recently arrived from Trans Ova. The calves were from EX-96 icons Ashlyn and Tobi and sired by Durham, Stormatic, Damion and Goldwyn. Just imagine that! It’s an amazing sight.

Kingsmill Farm II, LLC is located on 150 acres of beautiful rolling land outside of Raleigh in Durham County. Above the barns, ground has been selectively cleared and atop one of those hills is one of the most gorgeous views on the farm. A stocked pond is located in the clearing and the view sweeps downward toward the barns.

This week at Kingsmill would be a busy one on any farm. They have a full flush schedule on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday between the farms at Durham and Liberty, classification is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday at both farms, they are preparing a showstring for the Parade of Stars Show at the Fairgrounds on Saturday, caring for cattle that will be in the sale and getting ready to host the headline event on Friday, a Night at Kingsmill Sale! The sale will begin at 4 pm on Friday evening.

It was a picture perfect spring day in Wisconsin and an enthusiastic crowd traveled to Ixonia, WI for the Crescentmead Farms Dispersal on Saturday, May 24th. Located in southeastern Wisconsin, the Wendorfs of Crescentmead graciously welcomed people to their beautiful farm with a pre-sale pig roast and complimentary beverages throughout the day.

Sale hosts Elmo Wendorf, Jr and Carolyn & Niles Wendorf

The barn entrance features many of the show ring awards garnered by the Crescentmead herd.

An addition to the main barn contains eight box stalls.

A large number of the sale cattle were tied in a separate pole shed.

Amlaird Lee Alice (EX-92) - the All-American Jr. Two-Year-Old in 2003 - was impressive in both the barn and the sale ring. She is due September 1st and looks as though she could grace the shavings again this fall. A Comestar Lee daughter of Ms Kingstead Chief Adeen-ET (2E-94), Alice was the high seller on the day bringing $67,000 from her new owner, MilkSource Genetics of Kaukauna, WI.
