Dixie Invitational Sale Concludes

Dixie Banner

The Dixie Invitational weather didn’t disappoint. It was another hot and humid day in Newberry, S.C. at Bush River Jerseys, the host of the Dixie Invitational Sale again this year. The cattle were good and the bidding was fast and furious from under the tent and from on JerseyAuctionLive.com.

A total of 110 lots sold today, for an average of $1835.23 and a gross of $201,875.
A newborn heifer from Lot 27 and 3 embryos were last-minute additions to the sale. The embryos were from Dutch Hollow Charlemagne (7JE1376), GJPI +272 and out of Barkley Kate, E-92%. The embryos went to Eastglen Farms, S.C., for $1800 ($600 each) and were consigned by Bradley and Carla Taylor, Miss. and Cedarcrest Farms, Ala.

Frank, Marilyn and Glen Easter purchased the high selling heifer of the Dixie Invitational, consigned by Cedarcrest Farm. George Rankin was on hand to represent his family farm, and Jason Robinson, JMS manager congratulates the group.

Cattle were purchased from nine states (KY, LA, MS, NE, OH, SC, TN, TX, VA). Adrie Vanderjagt of Texas bought 23 head to be the top volume buyer of the day. The internet bidders and buyers were an influence on the sale, with 83 of 110 lots carrying bids from the internet, 30 lots selling to internet buyers and 34 holding contending bids. Carlyle Farms, Ohio, was the top internet buyer with 16 head.

A big thank you to the consignors, bidders and buyers at today’s sale. Also thanks to the Bush River Jersey crew for allowing JMS to have the Dixie Invitational in Newberry, S.C. again this year.

Do keep in mind that ALL Sales, including Top of the World, Pot O’Gold and All American, consignments need to be turned in by summer’s end because of the details that accompany the cataloging and show entries that come with some of the events. Pot O’Gold consignments must be genomic tested, and samples need to reach the lab by the August 1 deadline to be included. AJCA will pay for 3 samples, as long as one of those is entered in the sale.

Each regional or state sale will be looking to wrap up their consignment list within a few weeks also, so be sure to contact your AJCA / NAJ Area Representative to have your cattle included in the sale closest to you!

Jersey Bid monthly consignment sales will continue as always, the third week of each month.
