Prices dip at Pa. State
BY ROBIN PHILLIPS
Staff Correspondent
LANCASTER It was a good
day for buyers but a poor sale for
consignors as the 37 head of
registered Jersey cows and heifers
at the annual Pennsylvania State
Jersey Sale sold for an average of
$891.67. Last Saturday’s sale
featured top pedigrees from across
the state whose prices averaged
barely more than half of what they
did at this sale last year.
The crowd at the Guernsey Sales
Pavilion, Lancaster, witnessed
several animals surpass the
$1500.00 mark with spirited bid
ding.
Topping the sale was the bull
consignment from Dr. Robert and
Helen Dreisbach, R 3 Hamburg.
Wilderness Dandy - ET sold for
$3600.00 to Noba, Inc., Tiffin, Ohio,
and a syndicate of shareholders.
One-half of these proceeds will be
used for the 1985 Annual Meeting of
the American Jersey Cattle Club to
be held in Lancaster next June.
Shares were sold prior to the start
of the bidding for $lOO.OO each to 30
shareholders who agreed to join in
the syndicate to prove this young
bull.
