The Pot O’Gold Sale is part of a packed full, eventful junior day at the All American Jersey event in Louisville, Ky. Tonight’s sale featured 31 lots of genotyped heifers for junior Jersey breeders to add to their herds. Each lot purchased has a percentage of her selling price put towards the “Pot O’Gold” moneys awarded at the end of this group of heifers’ first lactation.
On 31 head, the sale averaged $4,103.23. Bidding was lively between the crowd in Newmarket Hall and the internet viewers at home.
