24 Hour Service Daily
In all, 69 head, along with 11
calves sold with dam, averaged
$1,219.
An enthusiastic crowd, esti
mated at more than 1,500, filled
the made-to-order facilities at
Kutztown to witness this specta
cular sale. Heavy showers at
times didn't dampen the bid
ding, as 38 head sold for $l,OOO
or more. An additional three
did so with the selling price of
the calf.
As expected, the star of the
day was the Reserve All-Ameri
can two year old,' a Kingpin con
signed by Clair Cottrill of West
Columbia, West Virginia. She
brought $8,300 on the bid of
Kingstead Farms of Clarksburg,
Md. The contending bidder was
Jake Zook of Port Royal, Pa.
The second high at $3,800 was
another Kingpin, this one a
beautifully uddered two year
old consigned by Raymond
Hackett of Harrisonville, New
Jersey. She was purchased by
Charles Myers, Lancaster, and
Sam Acker of Chester Springs,
Pa.
A pair of Transmitter daugh
ters, both extremely well bal
anced with good udders,
brought $2,500 and $1,425. They
were consigned by William
Beezley of Girard, Kansas, who
was instrumental in developing
their sire.
A total of 25 Kingpin daugh
ters (plus seven calves sold with
them) sold at an average price
of $1,590. Two Master A’s
brought $2,500 and $l,lOO while
three King Ivan’s, two of them
bred heifers, brought $1,500,
$1,325, and $1,300. A VGBB
Image sold at $1,600.
