Hi All,
I hope this finds everyone well, with crops planted and either finished with 1st cutting hay or getting rolling with it. To me this spring has seemed chilly, but who knows what Mother Nature has in store for us this summer!
I would like to thank the Show Committee for the great job they did in planning and putting on the Great Lakes All-Breeds Spring Show. Our numbers may have been down a bit this year, but I think the quality spoke for itself! Great Job to our exhibitors and breeders. I look forward to seeing what they have in store for our ALL-MICHIGAN Show in July!
Our Sale Committee and Sale Manager, Randy Lettinga, also deserve a pat on the back. Many of you know its hard to sell animals in a depressed market, but I think all said and done, it proves quality animals demand decent prices even in depressed markets. The sale sold 37 actual live lots with an average of just of $1400. The sale had 4 lots over $2,000. The high seller was a December Brown Swiss calf consigned by Blessing Farms and Brian Garrison, of Indiana. She sold for $3,900 to Lynn DeForest. Second High Seller was consigned by Moo-Ville, the Westendorp family of Nashville, she sold for $3100.
I hope to see many of you at our All-Michigan Show in July so that we can catch up. I can say for myself with not many shows happening in 2020 and finally attending one in 2021, it was gratifying. It was great so see everyone and catch up on the “what’s what” in Michigan.
Hope to see everyone in July!
Until then…
Brent
