The weather changed from a hot week for the cows and crew, to a beautiful day, with low humidity, gentle breezes, and much Jersey breeder fellowship in Greenwich, N.Y.
A standing room only crowd filled the JMS tent at the Seacord Farm Dispersal to take home a part of the herd Richard and Brian Seacord have built. Internet bidders from all around the U.S. also watched the sale with hope of being the lucky buyer on a good cow family member, a deep pedigree, or the next show ring stopper!
The cattle themselves averaged $1,918.45 on 103 head and the sale averaged $1,611.72 with the semen added into the tally, on 125 total lots.
