Snapshots shown below were taken at the British
White Cattle Auction near Bells, Texas, USA on
Saturday, October 13, 2001. Pictures taken by
Walter Bohaty, Bellwood, Nebraska. Walter &
his wife, Nancy are owners of largest herd of
British White Cattle in North America. You
can visit them on the
web.

I'm sure
you will agree after viewing Walters pictures
that we had a totally enjoyable event, meeting
new friends, new members, and new British White
Breeders as well as seeing, visiting and
renewing memories with old friends. We also had
another great British White sale.
Sale Results:
Lot #22 was the overall high
selling lot, a cow-heifer/calf pair for $4300.
Nine pairs averaged $3200.
Lot #1 was high selling bred cow, for $3850.
Fifteen bred cows averaged $2400.
Lots 27 & 34 tied for high selling open
heifer, each went for $2100. Nine open heifers
aged from 11 to 12 ½ months old averaged
$1800.
Lot # 38 was high selling young bull, going for
$1500. Six bulls aged from 9 to 12 months old
averaged $950.
Overall average for 39 lots
was $2200.
Interest in
registered British White Cattle remains at an
all time high as was indicated by the full
stands right up to the very end with bidders
actively trying for their favorite animal. The
high selling bred cow was next to the last one
sold.
British
White Cattle were sold to breeders from 7
states, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri,
New York, North Carolina and West
Virginia.
