SALE schedule:
Welcome... Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to take this opportunity to invite you to the first annual U.S Open event! I’m sure many of you are aware that Albert Einstein is broadly credited for the quote, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results”. It is that founding principle that persuaded me to create an event of this kind. As you study your catalog, you’ll notice that this offering represents genetics and breeders from literally all over the country. Many of whom, are representatives of the industry that are considered leaders and programs that have set the bar for so many breeders to follow, while others are names that perhaps, you may not be quite as familiar with. My goal was to survey the entire industry and assemble a representation of genetics that represents ALL of the industry, and highlight firms that have been truly dominant in their respective field, and without question, every breeder involved with the U.S. Open, fits that description! To my knowledge, this is the first ever event of its kind, offering not only some of the country’s most elite herd sires, clones, bred females, and frozen genetics, but also, pick of the litter from the industry’s most proven foundation females, and once in a lifetime opportunities for the entire country to have first choice in selecting from the entire crop of the finest show prospects, from some of the world’s very best breeders! No matter your affiliation, and interest in the showpig business, there is an elite opportunity being offered to you in this event! Finally, I hope that you all can join us for this historical live auction, on November 14th, in Duncan, Oklahoma. However, for those of you who can not make the trip, I encourage you to work with our partners at www.cci.live, and utilize the real time bidding option made available to you online. On behalf of all of the consignors, I say thank you and we look forward to seeing you in Duncan, Oklahoma. Respectfully,
Dave Mullins
