The Warren, John and Henry Gaby families dispersed the milk cows and bred heifers of Gaby Jerseys at the farm in Greenville, Tenn., today. A chilly, sunny day was the setting, with a tent full of family and Jersey friends supporting these long time breeders of influential Jersey cattle. A large number of bidders and viewers participated in the sale through the internet as well.

A total of 172 head sold in the Gaby Jersey Farm Milking Herd and Bred Heifer Dispersal, for an average $2,015.12. Taking into account only Gaby owned cattle, the average was $2093.58. Twenty-five different buyers from 14 different states and Canada bought genetics from the herd today.

Ambian Dairy LLC, Arizona, was the volume buyer with 77 head.
