Guernsey Annual Meeting & Sale

The final day of the Wisconsin hosted National Guernsey Convention finished with a bang as a large number of youth gathered for the junior meeting, the adults meet to conduct the annual business of the association and capped off the day with a tremendous sale that averaged a little over $4,000 on 54 lots. Topping the sale was the 2013 All-American Spring Calf, now a fancy March yearling that is a full sister to the number 1 CPI cow in the breed and backed by two generations of 40,000M. Coulee Crest AP Lexi-ET sold for $19,000 and is now owned by Jade Jensen.
