Demand for Brown Swiss was verified at the Great Northern with the dispersal of the Shiloh Dairy herd. Brown Swiss Enterprises, Inc., managed the sale for the Speirs Family: Gordon, Cathy and Travis. Cathy purchased three Brown Swiss heifers in 2006. No other live cattle were added. Cathy partnered with Sunshine Genetics on a “you get one, we get one” embryo implant program. Embryos were purchased to add additional cow families such as Snickerdoodle and Sindy. From this great foundation, an impressive and in-demand herd was developed. The results were as follows: 151 head sold, 52 buyers from 14 states took home 57 cows, 30 bred heifers, and 64 open heifers and calves for an average price of $2,135.40.
Topping the sale was Lot 6717 Amber Rae High Society ET at $16,800, a 10/15/2018 Jo-Lane Dario Hilton daughter of Amber Rae Kannons Sindy ‘V88’ with 34,840m. Society, a donor dam, is currently the #26 PPR heifer and sold bred to Cozy Nook Carl Trek (sexed). This contract heifer was purchased by Pine Tree Dairy, Marshallville, OH. She is one of 9 animals selected by Pine Tree Dairy.
A pair of animals rang the bell at $5,100. The first to reach the number was Lot 4527 Shiloh Biver Shavon ‘V87 – CERT’ with 31,230m at 1-10. She was now milking 112 lbs at 3-0 and pregnant on the first service to sexed Toby. This descendent of 2000 National Total Performance Winner Blessing PR Shirlan ‘3E93’ will be calling Bo-Tex Swiss, Waxahacie, Texas, home.
Next at $5,100 was Lot 6433 Shiloh Carl Peggy, the #45 PPR heifer, going to Andrew Sommers, Rittman, OH. Sired by Kulp-Terra Lucky Carl, this 7/22/2018 donor dam was bred to Triangle Acres Carter Juke. Her dam also sold as Lot 3983 Shiloh Biver Penny ‘V86’ with 1,424f at 1-11. Nor-Bert Farm, IN, added her for the reasonable price of $2,900. The source of this cow family was Triangle Acres Coll Polly ‘E92’ with 40,070m.
