The Norse Star Jerseys Complete Dispersal had a very long, very successful day one, selling all cows and close to calving heifers. Day two will start TODAY at 10:30 a.m. (CDT) at the dairy. 3rd Trimester bred heifers will start the day, moving down in age to breeding aged heifers. The sale will then move location to the home farm, Mike & Merna Fremstad’s house, to complete the remaining open heifers and baby calves.
There are group lots planned. HEIFER GROUP LOTS
Babies are planned on selling IN their hutches, and the internet isn’t THAT mobile, so here are the pictures of the babies! Sincere apologies on some blurry photos, and some not great angled photos – it’s a sport of its own to take baby pictures by yourself! 🙂
The Norse Star Jerseys Complete Dispersal will begin in about an hour – starting with MILK and DRY COWS at today’s sale. 3rd Trimester Heifers down to baby calves, as well as 2 bulls will sell in Tomorrow’s event.
Both days of sales will be broadcast LIVE on www.jerseyauctionlive.com
Take a look at previous blog posts for more pictures and information, but below are heifers and cows. More pictures will be posted after the sale.
