At Md . Black-Eyed Susan Sale
Reenforcement
daughter brings
FREDERICK, Md. - With the
wind howling and rattling the tin
roof overhead, a crowd of
prospective Polled Hereford
buyers squeezed into the cramped
Frederick Fairgrounds sale barn
for the annual Black Eyed Susan
spring sale held here last Saturday
evening.
The afternoon’s driving rams
and generally unpleasant weather
conditions didn’t dampen the
spirits of the bidders, however, as
Lot 51 moved around the sales
ring. This Huckleberry Hall Farm
consignment drew a flurry of bids
and nods from the crowd until
auctioneer Tom Cawood’s gavel
dropped at $1,425, selling the heifer
to Howard and Ann Corcoran,
Potomac, Md.
What made this animal special
enough to bring the top bid of the
sale? Basically, a pedigree that
just wouldn’t qmt plus the frame
and conformation that earned this
March 1981 heifer the title of
Junior Champion of the afternoon
show.
The heifer, Dunwalke Dawn UN,
is sired by a young bull called
Reenforcement out of a dam called
Dunwalke Mis Vm 938. What
makes this combination so special
is the fact that Reenforcement,
himself a champion, is by the
famous national champion En
forcer., 107 H and is out of a
Kiyiwana New Trend dam. Not to
be out done, Dawn’s dam boasts
another top Polled Hereford sire in
her pedigree Vindicator, a
superior bull sired by one of the
breed’s greatest female producers,
Victorious K 47 UBl.
There’s no doubt that Dawn will
serve as a top foundation cow on
which the Corcorans can build
their Polled Hereford herd. They
presently own 15 bead of these
registered beef cattle and keep
them on their 129-acre farm. Ann
explained that they’ve only been in
the farming business for the past
two years. While she takes care of
top bid
the farm, Howard travels to his job
as an Environmental Protection
Agency attorney.
Huckleberry Hall Farm,
Smiths burg, also consigned the
top-selling Polled Hereford bull at
Saturday evening’s sale. HHF Bets
Lad UN brought a bid of $1,025
from Donald and Wanda Eader of
Mt. Airy, Md. The March 1981 son
of PRL 7 Bet 5178 will be joining
the other 25 head of registered
Polled Herefords on the Eaders’
35-acre farm.
The show’s senior heifer
champion was Lot 35 in the sale.
This Bet daughter was consigned
by Dr. Qua Chuen Su of Hager
stown, Md. and sold for $975 to
William and Louise Fisher, owners
of Fisher’s Poplar Lack Farm,
Westminster, Md. The Fishers
operate a custom feedlot at their
farm and direct market finished
steers to customers. A herd of 20
Polled Herefords cows help to
supply some of the feeder cattle
that go through the lot.
One extra special consignment
that sold at the Saturday evening
sale but carried no lot number was
a heifer donated by Ed and Anna
Snook of Cedar Hill Farm,
Clearsprmg, Md. The heifer ac
tually sold twice, with the gavel
dropping once on a bid of $1,250 by
five members of the Maryland
Polled Hereford Association, Inc.:
Calvin Sayler, Rocky Ridge;
George Brennan, Tamsey Farm,
Easton; GLenn Bactell,
Huckleberry Hall Farm, Smith
burg; Fred Archibald, New
Market; and Frank Darcey,
Spring Bottom Farm, Fan-held,
Pa.
The donated Polled Hereford
heifer brought a total of $1,675
dollars whfen the final bid was
recognized. Proceeds of this sale
are going towards the Maryland
Polled Hereford Queen fund.
Altogether, 51 females and 5
bulls sold for an average of $770.
