Louisville Parish Hosts Derby Showcase Sale

Members of Kentucky’s only active Jersey parish— the Louisville Jersey Parish—hosted their annual Derby Showcase Sale on May 2, 2021, in Frankfort. Nine lots of Registered Jersey heifer calves sold for an average of $769.44. The all-breed event also auctioned Ayrshire, Brown Swiss, Holstein, Milking Shorthorn and Red and White consignments, for an overall average of $800.26 on 38 lots.

The sale is an anticipated social event for juniors and seniors alike, traditionally held the first Sunday in May following the Kentucky Derby. As dairy numbers in the region dwindle, the sale is opportunity for young people to purchase club calves for the show season. Complimentary grilled cheese sandwiches are served, and juniors are offered a discount on purchases. Funds are raised through a silent auction that includes the geraniums that adorn the show ring, a nice touch in advance of Mother’s Day.

The Louisville Jersey Parish gives back in a variety of ways. Money is donated to judging teams and parish juniors who place in showmanship at the Kentucky State Fair. A small scholarship is also awarded. This year, additional support was given to the Kentucky Dairy Development Council tornado relief fund.

The co-high selling Jerseys were auctioned for $1,000 each. Cassie Tyson of Frankfort purchased Barlu Megapower 964 339. The winter calf sired by River Valley PF Megapower-ET, GJPI +38, is out of a Very Good-82% daughter of Fairway Mygent Dallas-PP, GJPI -66. The next dam is appraised Very Good86% and has a four lactation m.e. average of 17,515–807–662. She was consigned by H. H. Barlow III, Cave City, Ky.

Temple Strader and Andrew J. Hanshaw, Clarkson, Ky., chose the other $1,000-priced heifer, WHJ Shot Desire, a winter calf sired by Avonlea CF Slingshot-ET, JPI -101. She is out of a daughter of KCJF Regencys Demon, JPI -76, who was Junior Champion of the Kentucky State Fair in 2016. She was consigned by Tre Wright, Elizabethtown, Ky.
