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. Catalog is still on
line at http://www.britishwhite.com/catalog.htm
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. See snapshots of the bulls taken a few days before
the sale. Click Here.
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.
