Van Norman 24th Annual Production Sales Results

24TH ANNUAL SALE RESULTS 77 HORSES • $558,250 For complete results, visit www.vannormansale.com

The 24th annual Van Norman & friends Production Sale was held on September 18 and 19, 2020 at the Elko County Fairgrounds.

In spite of the challenges of putting on the sale amid COVID-related regulations and restrictions, the sale was the by far the highest grossing sale to date, bringing in $558,250 total with a strong demand across the board for all ages and types of horses. A total of 77 horses sold, with lively competition among telephone, internet, and in-person bidders. Because of the requirement to allow for social distancing, the sale was moved out of the 4-H auction barn and to the main grandstands, with the sale ring and auctioneer stand being set up on the racetrack and the sale office being in the parimutuel building. While the reason behind the change was unfortunate, the expanded venue and ample seating space was very well received over-all. The Star Hotel provided concessions as well as an open-air bar area. The sale kicked off with the national anthem beautifully sung by Marrina Mori and a prayer led by renowned auctioneer, Colonel Steve Friskup of Muleshoe, Texas. Friskup rolled through the 77 horses with his signature style and humor, keeping energy and enthusiasm high throughout the afternoon. He was accompanied by Casey Bieroth providing insight and commentary about the horses, riders, and breeding programs represented. Bid spotters Bucke Waite, Justin Morris, and Jody Doescher assisted by phone ringmen Pete Mori, Sam Mori, Joe Cahill, Allie Bear, and John Wright, along with Katie Colyer(LiveAuctionsTV) on the computer kept Steve on his toes throughout the afternoon. Sale results are also posted on the sale website, www.vannormansale.com. The 2021 sale will be our 25th Anniversary event. It’s scheduled for September 17 & 18.

Two Nevada families receive Centennial Awards in 2020 Lattin & Weishaupt families honored with Centennial designation

Two families were recognized as Centennial Farms and Homesteads in 2020. Lattin Farms and the Weishaupt Homestead were both founded in 1918, totaling more than 200 years of combined family heritage and farming in

Fallon, Nevada. The Centennial Awards began in 2004, and, with the addition of the Lattin and Weishaupt families, 54 family-run operations have been inducted. “The Lattin and Weishaupt families have been contributing to the agriculture industry for more than 100 years,” NDA Director Jennifer Ott said. “We are thrilled to recognize these Centennial families as they represent the best qualities of Nevada – hard work, dedication and commitment to family.” Weishaupt Ranch (1918)

Lattin Farms (1918)

Lattin Farms is in Fallon, Nevada and was

purchased by George William Lattin in 1918. Lattin purchased an 80-acre parcel of farmland that was later sold to his son Ralph, who grew alfalfa, corn and cattle. Upon returning from World War II in 1946, Ralph’s two sons, Bill and Dick purchased a neighboring farm as the Lattin brothers. Five generations after the original purchase, Bill’s son, Rick, continues to farm the now 400-acre farm and agritourism business. Many members of the Lattin family continue to live on the farm, where they carry on the Lattin family legacy through the Lattin Grower’s Market, Lattin Kitchen and agritourism business.

Albert and Addie Weishaupt bought 80 acres in 1918

in Fallon, Nevada. They built the Weishaupt Homestead where they farmed the land for alfalfa and raised dairy cows, sheep, hogs and turkeys. In 1946, Albert and Addie’s youngest son, Karl, returned from serving in World War II, marrying Bettie Atwater and raising three children. In 1977, Karl and Bettie bought the home from his parents. Bettie passed away in 2013, but at the age of 95, Karl still lives on the family ranch where his son, Dana, continues to farm.
