to be held on Monda
that proves production & type
showing their animals and visiting
dairies. They compare many
daughters of the current A.I. bulls
and become very familiar with the
transmitting tendencies of the
bulls. They use this in their own
breeding at home and in selecting
cows to purchase or sell in their
sale. With Mike as an approved
judge and all of them very active in
the American Jersey Cattle Club,
they visit many herds and see
which bull’s daughters are
profitable in commercial setups.
Previous greats
Most of the consignments to the
Waverly Invitational are selected
by the Stiles family. Some of the
previous “greats” that have gone
through the Waverly sales include:
Pocantice Adam Patience, E
-91%, with sons in three A.I. units;
W.F. Quicksilver Tansy, E-91%,
grand champion with 16,490 M and
901 F; Hi-Land Hurry Fancy, VG
-81% with 22,920 M and 1,093 F; and
Generators Emerald, show win
ner, now scored E-93%.
Acceptance by Jersey breeders
for this type of sale is shown by the
sale average being among the
highest of all breed sales. In
creasing the average each year is
the sale of a deep pedigreed young
bull. In 1982, a bull sold for $19,000
and in 1983, for $6,000. Although the
averages have always been well
above $2,000.00, each consignment
represents the best from a par
ticular herd and good animals
have been available for $1500.00 or
less.
“It was scary the first year,”
Tracy’s wife, Janet admits. “We
were going in and asking for the
best cows.” “We just hope there’s
always a market for good cows.”

“We have a lot of people coming

be able to visit with them,” Tracy
states.

In faster milking and
improved herd health.
So is NuPulse. Our new MLX Milkers’ bigger bowl with larger
inlets and outlet has increased milk flow substantially. Even with
high producers, my customers are reporting faster milking. With
equalized vacuum on both sides of the inflation, we get far less
fall-off or creeping. We’re finding better udder health and teat
condition. More and more, dairymen tell me the NuPulse

With Waverly bred bulls in all
major A.I. companies throughout
the states and Canada, and many
Waverly females making money
for their new owners across the
country, the Robert Stiles family is
widely respected in the Jersey
breed.
“We want to be known for good
cows that milk and show.” “We
want to be known for being good,
honest people,” Tracy sums up his
family’s philosophy.
