The Devon sale….
….we’ve had two inquiries about the prices at this past weekend’s Devon show and sale. Eventually, we hope a complete report will be posted at the Red Devon USA website….but here are a few unofficial numbers. The top selling cow was Circle K Devons Mary, a six-year old daughter of Rotokawa 688. She brought $11,500 for breeder Kendall Schrock. The number two cow was Charlie and Martha Trantham’s Lenoir N311 with a calf at side and confirmed pregnant. She netted $9250. The 17 cows in the sale averaged $5,700. The range was from $3750 to $11,500.
