Will & Annie are currently milking over 60 cows & have decided to downsize for the winter months.  They have decided to have auction staff select the cows for the sale & only the very best of this herd will be offered. Approx. 30 of the cows are in their 1^st or 2^nd lactation & have many productive years ahead of them.  These cows are averaging over 75 lbs. per day w/several cows milking over 100 lbs. per day.  Top A-I sires are being used including De-Prince, Armani, McNuggets & Tampa.  Overall type of this herd is exceptional w/proper feet, legs & udders any dairyman would appreciate.  Herd health is excellent w/a monthly herd health program used and a bulk tank SCC of only 180,000.  The cows are housed in a tie-stall barn, pipeline milked, left out daily for exercise & are accustomed to bunk feeding.  These are the type of young cows that would adapt well to most housing and milking operations.  All pertinent production, SCC & breeding info will be available.  If you are looking for very good replacement cows, be sure to attend this sale.  If you wish to view the cattle before sale day, please stop in Saturday, Dec. 27 between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. Thank you.
