Towpath Dynasty Lora ET, a super uddered Dynasty three year old from the LuAnn family, sold fresh with loads of presale interest. Sunshine Genetics, Whitewater, WI are Lora’s new owners with a final bid of $12,700. placed on the telephone thru Brian Garrison of the sales force. Contending bidder on this potential 8th generation “Excellent’ young cow was Dr. Kenny Manion of Scottsville, KY. Dr. Manion stayed in to the end and took home the second high seller for $12,200. Towpath Intel Disco was recently scored Excellent at 93 points and promises to be a major competitor in the four year olds for 2009. Jeff Woods of the sales force handled the contending bid on this “end of the row” eye pleaser with a huge future. Next in line and selling for an even $10,000 was the lovely dry cow - KMB Dalton Primrose “E90”. A Dalton daughter with her first two records over 1000 fat, Primrose was selected by Christian Blais and will make her new home in Saint Henri, Quebec. The DeMay’s hosted a much appreciated and heavily attended pre-sale gathering the evening prior to the sale for family, friends and guests. A large number of Swiss enthusiasts were on hand to view the remarkable lineup of high quality cattle, enjoy refreshments and visit with guests from several states and three Canadian provinces. On sale day, the tent over-flowing crowd created an active and interesting auction - start to finish. The Towpath Farm Dispersal was managed by Modern Associates, St. Paris, OH with Wayne Sliker handling sale details and pedigree announcements. Darrell Worden was the auctioneer and worked with a lively sales force including Brian Garrison, Jeff Woods, Denny Ferguson and Dale Chambers. Preparation and presentation were well covered by Ron Kuhn, longtime Towpath herdsman, and Scott Hussey with his fitting crew. |
