It is time to wrap up another year’s work – time to reflect on the successes of the past year – and time to plan for future progress. As I write this we are preparing for the Winter Board Meeting – but as you read this the Board will have met and made many decisions toward the future of the Red, White & Roan. This past Fall was very exciting for me – I had the opportunity to travel to three of the National Shows. It was a pleasure to meet so many of you on the tanbark trail in Harrisburg, Madison and Louisville – it makes things a lot easier when I can put a face with a name. We had four different National Champions representing our breed this year. Read more about them in the show reports in this Journal! Congratulations to all of the exhibitors – the quality at all of our shows was superb and we are very proud of our breeders’ accomplishments! It is certainly a time of year to be thankful. Many of you knew and were touched by the kindness and generosity of Jimmie D. King. Not all of you may know that the American Milking Shorthorn Society was the single largest beneficiary of his estate. The first portion of the funds arrived at the office in October, so the Board will be discussing how to utilize and invest this money. Jimmie wanted it to go to promote and expand the breed, so we hope to come up with some creative ways to do this in memory of Jimmie. We are so thankful for his generosity that will forever touch the Red, White and Roan! Through this Holiday Season we have much to be thankful for – the Red, White and Roan has a bright future! I would like to wish all of you fellow Milking Shorthorn enthusiasts a Very Merry Christmas! ~ Cory From the President by Susan Lee International Cooperation In July, Vince and Rozanne Ruzic, Katie Agnew, Sharon and Elizabeth Fleming and I had the pleasure of attending the Canadian Field Day at the Oceanbrae Farm on Prince Edward Island. Graham Madeley, former president of the English Dairy Shorthorn Society was also in attendance. The first evening was a time to view the sale animals, enjoy drinks and desserts, rekindle old friendships, and make new ones. This was also the start of a small tag sale with Oceanbrae being the host. Nine head sold with an average of $2,172. The next morning started with viewing their animals. What a beautiful sunny day with just a hint of a breeze to cut the blazing sun as we walked through the pastures viewing Barrett’s animals! We had the opportunity to view several SRB B Jurist daughters and see Oceanbrae Ironman. What a great herd of cattle; dairy capacity along with the strength that we need for the breed to have success in the future. Next was the start of “How Well Do You Know Animals.” Contestants had to guess the weight of one cow. Next, there were four cows and three calves and participants attempted to determine if they could match which calf belonged to which cow. Then there were two judging classes; a two-year-old and a four-year-old class. U.S. people fared quite well with these challenges. Sharon Fleming guessed the weight of the cow within one pound, and Katie Agnew and I placed the animals closest with the judge, who is an Ayrshire breeder. Lunch was then provided by the Barrett family with about 80 people extending our discussions and learning about each other’s dairies and the economies of their countries. After lunch, there was a fun auction held to make money for Junior activities. Yes, all of us left some U.S. dollars for a good cause and came home with some useful and delicious items. The Canadian Milking Shorthorn Society’s Distinguished Service Award was presented to Mike Sullivan of Maple Inn Farms. The Cow of the Year Award went to Valley Crest Alice 39 EX 93 – 4E owned by Ivan and Diane Naylor. Alice was one of the cows that the Naylors purchased when they bought Harold Patterson’s herd when he retired. For those who attended World Dairy Expo in 2008, you may remember Alice 39, who placed fifth in her cow class that year. The annual meeting was opened by President John Knox. With Graham Madeley, Ryan Barrett, and I visiting about our respective countries’ dairy industry and agriculture in general, it seems that all of us are pretty much in the same situation.

T he Eastern National Milking Shorthorn show was held in conjunction with the All-American Dairy Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Judge Jeremy McDonald of Stephens City, Virginia, was on hand to sort through quality Milking Shorthorns from up and down the east coast on September 10 and 11. A well-balanced Winter Yearling, owned by Sarah Rhoades of Greenville, Ohio, captured Junior Champion honors for her enthusiastic owner. Buckeye Knoll Plmamzing EXP-ET is no stranger to the the winner's-circle having made her mark as a Winter Calf. She is from the “P” family at Buckeye Knoll, known for fancy heifers in the show ring. Plmamzing got the nod for Junior Champion over the well grown, strong, powerful Fall Yearling owned by Hard Core and Hillpoint of New Enterprise, Pennsylvania, for her depth and openness of rib. The Reserve Junior Champion, HCHP Red Rob Fireball-EXP-ET is an Innisfail Red Robin daughter from the Sunshine Now You See Fireball, ‘2E90’, who was Reserve All-American, as both a Fall Calf and Fall Yearling. Sorting themselves to the top of the young cow classes were two cows hailing from Pennsylvania. R-Generation Poker Miley-EXP, ‘VG-88’ is owned by Jason and Jessica Kennedy of Cochranton, Pennsylvania, and was this year's Intermediate Champion. She is sired by Spungold-R Frolic Poker-ET and her dam is R-Generation Rubens Magic, ‘2E90’. Following her closely for the Reserve Intermediate Champion honor was the winning Junior ThreeYear-Old, owned by Keith and Donnette Fisher of New Enterprise, Pennsylvania. Springhill Moonshine Fire-EXP, ‘EX-91’, is sired by Hardcore Othello MoonshineET. Her granddam is also Sunshine Now You See Fireball, the dam of the Reserve Junior Champion female. The decision for Senior and Grand Champion was obvious for Judge McDonald once Halpins Mona II, ‘EX-92’ hit the ring. Mona II had the height and width to her rear udder and open dairy rib with plenty of dairy strength that McDonald was looking for. She is sired by Cates PT Tangerines Target and was named Grand Champion at the Illinois State Fair during the summer for her owners, Halpin Farms of Kempton, Illinois. A show ring veteran captured the Reserve Senior and Grand Champion banner, Tex-Star Othello Peri, ‘EX-94’, exhibited by Todd Moore of Emory, Texas. She is sired by Kuszmar Alfairs Othello. Hard Core O'Royce was named Total Performace winner for her owner Chriselle Fisher of New Enterprise, Pennsylvania. Keith and Donnette Fisher were awarded both the Premier Breeder and Exhibitor banners. Following are the top six in each class Spring Calf (18) 1.

S eth Johnson of Tunbridge, Vermont, judged 100 head of Milking Shorthorns on Tuesday, September 17 in West Springfield, Massachusetts, at the Northeastern National Show. Rising to the top of the heifer classes for Junior Champion honors, was J-Lo-Jo Royal Jello-EXP, the first place winter calf exhibited by J-Lo-Jo Milking Shorthorns, Chateaugay, New York. Johnson said, "I made this beautifully stylish Winter Calf Junior Champion. The longer she is out here, the more I like her. She has the style and balance I look for with great feet and legs. She combines plenty of width in her front end with a super dairy rib. She has the advantage over the Fall Calf in Reserve, as the Winter Calf is deeper in her heart and fore rib. I admire straightness of lines in the Fall Calf and her overall style." Reserve Champion honors went to Jerbie Ruben Hicky Hump-EXP, the first place Fall Calf exhibited by Jerbie Farms, Downsville, New York. "The pair of Junior Three-Year-Olds will be an easy choice for me today for Intermediate Champions. The winner is such a balanced cow with a high, wide rear udder attachment. She shows tremendous bloom to her udder today and that, combined with being more correct in her feet and legs, is what sends her to the top spot today," said Johnson. Intermediate Champion honors went to Cold Springs GSR Lucky, owned by Mitchel White and John Tryon of Shapleigh, Maine. Innisfail KO Lady 032, was named Reserve Intermediate Champion for owners Greg and Marcia Clark of Cornish Flatt, New Hampshire. Johnson chose maturity for his Senior and Grand Champion cow. "This Aged Cow is an easy Grand Champion for me today. She is just incredibly youthful and dairy. You really have to admire the attachments on that mammary system. This cow is just so deep-ribbed and razor sharp today. It gets a bit closer for Reserve Grand Champion, but I am going with the big, powerful Five-Year-Old today. She has a big advantage over our Junior Three-Year-Old through that front end, she is wider through the chest and has that uphill run I admire," Johnson stated. Grand Champion honors went to Lake Effect MD Lauren 7251, owned and exhibited by John and Kirsten Anderson and Greg and Elizabeth Clark of Cornish Flatt, New Hampshire. Brooke Clark of Cornish Flatt, New Hampshire, had Reserve honors with Innisfail JO Lady 824. Following are the top five in each class Spring Calves ( 9) 1.

Here is a ten-year-old cow, just recently fresh with her ninth calf. She moves freely, and has great width and strength of attachment. Her length and openness of rib, quality balance and bloom of udder will place her over the first-place Five-Year-Old for champion.” The All-American Othello daughter, and Best Udder of the show, is owned by Jordan Landsgard of St. Olaf, Iowa.

McLean III Pres. cont. from page 4 spots that we share in common. Each country has welcomed several new breeders into their societies. Mostly these are people who have others breeds and start with a couple of Milking Shorthorn. We need to press forward and keep these people interested in increasing their holdings of Milking Shorthorn and Dairy Shorthorn cattle. In addition, this was the best year in several years for numbers of registrations for each organization. Dave Prinzen from Prinzville Dairy is the new president and the new vice president is Don Richardson of Richford Farm. Interesting and enthusiastic discussions were had on several items where cooperative efforts will prove beneficial to each organization. One important area is in the identification, selection and proving of young sires. We need to share pedigrees and get as much semen used as quickly as possible. Canadian and English breeders have in the past and continue to use several U.S. bred bulls and we need to expand this international exchange of genetics which will be beneficial to all. Many U.S. breeders are using Oceanbrae Ironman whom we saw along with several calves sired by him. If you are looking for a polled bull, this might be a good choice as the calves are long bodied and dairy.

Geoff Cochrane, Federal President Illawarra Cattle Society of Australia. USA Trip September 2013. athie and I arrived in Harrisburg 36 hours after leaving Sydney, Australia, counting time spent waiting at Los Angeles and Atlanta airports. I'm not a good air traveller and had had enough of it after a few hours. My bag turned up at our hotel after it had a 24-hour holiday in Hawaii without taking me with it! After picking up our rental car, we headed to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, and were amazed to see the Amish people bailing hay with horses. Some of the first things I noticed were no Gum Trees, no Bullbars or backyard fences. We arrived at the Golden Jubilee AllAmerican Show as the Shorthorn and Ayrshire junior shows were on the first class. We sat up in the grandstand and felt a bit like fish out of water not knowing anyone and everybody else seeming to be very busy showing cattle or running the show. We were blown away by the size of the complex only to realize over the next few days how big it really was as we found the equine arena, sale ring, cow barns and everything else. I thought the Junior Champion of the Milking Shorthorn junior show was an outstanding animal and, as we watched the supreme champions judged by all seven breed judges in the equine arena, I thought the beautiful roan heifer, Buckeye Knoll Plm mazing EXP-ET had an excellent chance. The Red and White won and we were very pleased to hear that the roan had come second beating the Holstein, Jersey and all others. We learned this from one of the judges who joined us for breakfast the next morning at the hotel. He had sat alone at the table next to us so we asked him to join us. We were very pleased to pass this information on to her owners who were also pleased and excited to hear this. By this time we had made ourselves known to Cory Salzl and Jason and Melinda Heeter who introduced us to many of the other breeders, including John and Marjorie Kuszlyk, whose farm we were unable to visit, but at least we saw some of their cows at the show. I counted up to 18 entries in the open show and was very impressed to see every animal prepared and presented to a very high level. Again the beautiful roan heifer was an easy winner in my mind. Congratulations to Doug Rhodes and his daughters, Hannah and Sarah, who expressed an interest in the exchange to Australia in a few years. And the delightful show Princess, whose name I have forgotten- sorry! As we walked around the barns looking C 20 Milking Shorthorn Journal at cows and meeting people before the allbreeds sale of 79 head, I noticed a lovely red cow which took my eye. She was a little small and, although not fully bagged up at that time, showed an excellent udder, strong top line, excellent body capacity and dairyness. Sure enough, Halpins Mona II was made champion the next day. It was very pleasing to see the Shorthorns’ average price right up with the top prices, even if there was only a small number. It was obvious the Milking Shorthorn breeders only put their best in the sale. We met an interesting character, Darwin Braundt, who was involved in the dairy oxen competitions and display. It was interesting for me, especially, because I have a team of bullocks, as we call them back at home, and our team has ten, not 2, animals. The next day for the in-milk classes, we sat with Joelle Koller. We followed the judging and talked cows until near the champion cow class, when we went down out of the stand and she introduced us to her mother, Nedra Koller, who had hosted a young “exchangee” years ago from Australia. In fact, Cathie had taught him at the local high school around 1976. She also introduced us to her grandfather, Sam Yoder, one of the great identities of the show. I then moved amongst the exhibitors and cows waiting to go into the group classes, taking photos and meeting people like Mike Halpin with his champion cow. Naturally, he was very busy and wanted to get his cows milked as would any good cow man. We stayed an extra half day in Harrisburg for the open show. Our original itinerary had not stated that the open show was on the next morning. That same afternoon we travelled to Niagara Falls, which is the most amazing natural landform I have ever seen and I have travelled much. Coming from the driest continent on earth, I could only describe it as an ocean pouring into a valley. The next afternoon we travelled into the center of Toronto to visit friends whom we had not seen for 17 years, then on to a little town called Brussels to stay overnight with a friend I had meet on a droving trip down the Birdsville Track in Australia eleven years ago. We only stayed with him 23 hours, since time was at a premium. Our next stop was to visit Tim Shearer and his wife, Irene. We stayed a few hours and were very pleased to hear from them that the Australian bull Glenbrook Storm Ruler had done such a good job for them. It was very pleasing to hear they had won an award for the highest production cow in their province over all breeds. This sort of success is something that should be shared Holiday 2013 with all Shorthorn breeders all over the world. Maybe we should give a membership to every breed organization with which we have reciprocal rights. In that way the secretaries could convey this sort of success to the groups’ members. Tim and Irene then took us to see their heifers at another farm. They were being prepared for their next big local show. Here we saw "snake rail fences" - this sort of rural history always interests me. After a very long drive, we found Joan and Craig Wortman’s place at 8:30 p.m. up in the hills thanks to Cathie's excellent navigating and my good driving on the other side of the road. (I had been practising before I left home) Their daughter, Kylie Preisinger was staying with them. She had visited our farms in June and met two of our sons and their wives when Cathie and I were away up in the Queensland Outback doing voluntary work on remote cattle stations. The next morning Joan showed us through their herd of mainly roans, grazing on a beautiful creek flat. Then on to the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, Massachusetts, where we found our hotel right next to the fairgrounds. We went straight to watch the youth show. This had a completely different feel, as we already knew some people as opposed to Harrisburg where we went in cold and took a while to fit in. Even before Joan arrived, I was talking to a man sitting near me in the stand, Doug Wearing, who was proud to tell me he was part-owner of one of the animals that was doing well. Joan and I sat and discussed the judging and I got to meet and talk to a lot of people. That night, at an informal gathering of exhibitors, Kylie introduced us and people seemed very comfortable coming forward to talk to us both there. As we walked around the barn, my eyes soon locked onto a cow that amazed me. I looked around to see a man sitting in a chair watching me. I said, " Do you own this cow?" "Yes.” “I did not expect to see a cow that good here." Then he replied, "You wait till you see her legs out walking." Lake Effect MD Lauren 7215 had the conformation, dairy quality, udder and capacity that fills my eye. We are not so critical of slightly sickle legs or too straight, for that matter, probably because our cows are not housed on concrete; they are out on pasture all year round. Sure enough, she easily won champion the next day. The reserve, Innisfail Jo Lady 824 from the same team, was a complete contrast in conformation and would not do well in our shows, but I understand that our dairying conditions are so different from yours that it is not surprising that you may like a different type. John Wayne Anderson came over and told us his story of breeding the champion. Stuart and Emily Rowe have visited our farm several times, so John Wayne and I had a lot to talk about. It was very pleasing for me to watch as the only two animals out of 100 that were by Australian bulls were both champions, the junior and the intermediate, although I was surprised to see the latter win in that company. At Harrisburg, there were no animals by Australian bulls. In the afternoon, we watched the ox pulling for some time. It is of interest to me as I have a team of ten in my retirement from actively milking the cows. We found Sheila Phelon's place in the dark. The next morning, her son Jim showed us around their farm and their milking cows and heifers. To my surprise some of their (native) heifers were mostly white with white hooves; I thought you could only get that with an outcross. We were unable to find their dry cows running out in the bush, which I thought could only happen in Australia! Jim then took us to Ben Bemis' place where we saw one of the in-milk class winners, Garys Liriano Sasparilla EXP, and a nice red (native) heifer that had got second in her class. We drove to Echo Farm of the Hodge family in Hinsdale, New Hampshire, where we had a bit of a look around before supper. This was the first farm I had been on where all the fodder is bought in, so different to our way of doing things. The next morning Beth showed us around the cows and the pudding factory and value-adding business enterprise which was very interesting and showed a lot of initiative. In the afternoon, we travelled to Greg and Marcia Clarke’s farm at Cornish Flat, New Hampshire, another very intensive operation on five acres. Before I got out of the car, I spotted the champion eating silage in the herd and looking just as good as she did at the show. I believe this cow could win at International Dairy Week here in Australia, which is the biggest dairy show in the southern hemisphere, so there is a challenge for Greg and his family. Realistically, the best way to that is to compete in the All-World Red Cow Photographic Competition, which was my idea originally and thankfully was progressed by other, more talented people. Greg let me put the cups on Lauren, which really "made my day." As we left, Greg and Marcia directed us to see the large covered bridge, which was most interesting. Before this, we had only seen small ones and thought that over a creek was a funny place to build a shed. We have shown our pictures of these bridges to many people here at home and nobody can guess why a bridge would have a roof over it . Our hardwood does not need to be covered. We headed back to Echo Farm for the night, then, the next day, made the long trip back to Harrisburg for our trip home. On reflection now at home, I feel your Milking Shorthorns are more like our Illawarras than ever. My first introduction to your cattle was in the early 70's when Keith King, Jessie Arthur and others visited our farm in Kangaroo Valley and sent me your journals. Your cows are much more refined now and ours have changed a lot too. Since the introduction of outside bloodlines, mainly Red Holstein with limited Scandanavian, our cattle produce far more consistently and persistently, but we have lost a lot in things like pigmentation, which is so important in our sunburnt country. We never had problems with eye cancers with pure Illawarras but we sure are now. Our protein test is not what it was, nor the temperament. Our fertility has gone down like the Titanic, but some of that could be attributed to pushing more milk with protein feeds and fertilizers these days. Your organization has done a far better job of keeping control of outside genetics than ours. We are now trying to "shut the gate after the horse has bolted." Nearly all the cattle at your shows display very good breed character. An experienced cattle man would have trouble recognizing what breed some of the cattle at our shows are and that distresses me. I also feel it is good you identify your (native) cattle. We should do the same for what is left of our pure Illawarras and by that I mean 100% only, not +75% or +87.5%. I feel the day may come when we may need these unique blood lines when we see how the intense use of artificial insemi- nation over many years has made all breeds around the world very closely bred with everybody wanting to use the same bulls. The All-World Red Cow Photographic Competition and the Youth Exchange Program are examples of how all Shorthorn aligned breeds can cooperate. There could be many more. Maybe we should give a membership to each breed society with which we have reciprocal rights. In that way we could each publish all the positive results that we each is achieving which would be a great encouragement to all. The exchange of semen and embryos is increasing and that trend will only increase. Two years ago, Cathie and I visited the United Kingdom and visited a few Shorthorn herds. I was simply amazed to see Graeme and Shirley Madeley's herd when we stayed several days with his family. I have never photographed so many good cows in one herd as I did at Graeme's. My appreciation of the Shorthorn cows has lifted enormously when I have visited both the U.S. and the U.K. and we all have so much to offer each other. Years ago, I used to get ridiculed by other breeders for sticking with Illawarras. That does not happen today as those people have watched my family go from producing 400,000 litres a year to 8,000,000 litres this year – a 20-fold increase in one generation. Greg let me put the cups on Lauren, which really "made my day." www.milkingshorthorn.com 21 Cont. from pg. 19 FAITH MEADOWS LOGIC TIGGER 68302250 'NC' 3-09 305 23700 3.8 912F 2.8 670P Sire: GMC REBEL LOGIC-ET Dam : ECHO FARM TITANIUM RAINIER-EXP Owner: DUDDEN, CAROLYN -- PENNELVILLE, NY SPUNGOLD-R PD POTION ET 68302216 'V86' E V V V + 3-08 305 19980 4.2 846F 3.1 628P Sire: INNISFAIL PRINCE OF DIAMONDS Dam : GOLD MINE POPPYS OT KAY Owner: CLARK, JUSTIN JOHN -- CORNISH FLAT, NH Junior Four Year Olds 19485 Milk, 684 Fat, 595 Protein Actual MANDERFELD JERRY BROWNIE 68302748 'G79' V V G F G 4-02 305 27500 3.6 986F 3.0 829P Sire: MANDERFELD IVANHOE JERRY Dam : MANDERFELD IVANHOE BONNIE Owner: MANDERFELD, BERNARD -- FAIRBAULT, MN MANDERFELD FROLIC BIGGER BIRD 68302326 'V88' V E + V V 4-03 305 26880 4.2 1139F 3.5 932P Sire: VINRA PEERLESS FROLIC Dam : MANDERFELD IVANHOE BIGBIRD Owner: MANDERFELD, BERNARD -- FAIRBAULT, MN MANDERFELD C.D.

He is a freshman at Warner High School. He is a 14-year-old with a passion for the dairy industry, but mostly for the Milking Shorthorn industry. Nicholas is involved in 4-H (Secretary), FFA, the Brown Swiss Association, and National Holstein Associations. He was introduced to the Milking Shorthorn breed by his older siblings: Jessica, Jacob, and Roxann Achen. He also inherited the ability to show this breed, from his mother and Uncle Jeff. Nicholas also exhibits at the local fairs and national shows. Nicholas’ most memorable time with his Shorthorns was when he was on the colored shavings last year at the World Dairy Expo. He was second place in the open show with Cherrywood Pat Katherine-EXP. On the farm Nicholas is in charge of feeding the show animals, and feeding grain to the calves of Warner Dairy. In his 28 Milking Shorthorn Journal free time after chores he loves to lead the show animals. Nicholas's future plans are to attend Purdue University in Indiana, The University of Minnesota, or South Dakota University (Jackrabbits). He wants to major in agribusiness. He hopes to someday manage and showcase his family's show animals. The Milking Shorthorn breed is special to Nicholas, because he likes the friendly community it has. Nicholas also feels this breed is special, because it is the best association to be a part of. Nicholas Achen is also the writer of the Junior Spotlights. Michael Pederson, is the 16-year-old son of Brian and Trisha Pederson. He is the outstanding Milking Shorthorn Junior for this winter season. Michael was introduced into this wonderful breed by his parents. He started showing back when he was fiveyears-old. He became involved with the breed when his mother signed him up for the local county fair. Michael developed his passion for the breed and now is showing from local shows to the International Milking Shorthorn Show in Madison Wisconsin. Besides showing Michael is involved in high school golf, FFA, 4-H, and shooting sports. His most memorable Milking Shorthorn experience is when his favorite Shorthorn Holiday 2013 “Penny” was in heat. The story goes a little like this: at the county fair Penny was in heat. So they had to tie her up to a gate outside the show ring, just to get the judge to look at her! The other responsibilities that Michael does on the farm are feeding the calves starter, milk, and water. Then he feeds his yearlings their grain. He also is in charge of feeding his pigs for the fair. Michael’s future plans involve taking over the NorthStar Family Farm from his parents. Milking Shorthorn are really special to him, because when he first saw one, he knew there was a spark for fun. Michael attended the fall sales in Minnesota. He got a buyer's number and started a new 4-H project. Her name was Princess, and when she had her first calf he named it “Precious”, because the calf was his first Milking Shorthorn that he bred and owned. Innisfail Legends of the Fall Sale Stuart and Emily Rowe of Orland, California created an event worthy of the Center of the Universe theme during Expo week in Wisconsin. The Rowes offered 46 head from the top of their heifer and cow lot that provided the most discriminating buyer the opportunity to purchase quality rarely offered at public auction. The sale was held on Friday, October 4, a few miles from the World Dairy Expo grounds at the WFA Cattle Sales complex in Brooklyn. The 46 lots averaged $2,810 with a sale topper of $10,500. Innisfail ST Emily 864 EXP topped the sale and was purchased by the Emily Syndicate (Bartlett, Clark, Rowe and Von Tungeln) of Cornish Flats, New Hampshire. One of the select cows that sold, Emily 864, is a 92-point daughter of Innisfail Perfect Storm with records to 3-07 249D 14,150M 3.6% 504P 3.1% 439P RIP. She stood second in the Four-Year-Old cow class a few days prior at the International Show. Bartlett and Kostka of Salisbury, Massachusetts purchased the high-selling bred heifer, Innisfail OC Belle 161 for $6,800. Bred to Destry Lad, the heifer is sired by Innisfail O Connor EXP and from an 89-point Nysha Mcnutmeg Cyclone dam. The next dam back is Very Good with 144,270M 5300F 4647P lifetime. The high-selling calf at $5,100, was Innisfail JK Emily 608 EXP, a June 2013 Innisfail Jekyll EXP sired daughter of the top selling cow.
