Ohio State Fair Chi & Maine
Around The Ring - Monday 2nd of August 2010 02:12:00 PM
 

2010 Ohio State Fair Chi Show

Jery Douglas sorted the stock, and did just a fine job. Nice calf class with Gary Conrad leading a fancy Heat Wave heifer to win the calf division.

The Ohio State Fair beef cattle show staff for some reason thought it would be a good idea to show Jan 1st THRU April 30th  in one class (yep 4 months). Now let me say I have put on, and ran livestock shows in my life and sometimes you have do things that wont make sense on it’s own for the good of the big picture it is the way it has to be done.  Also let me say show management is a tough and thankless job someone has to do and everyone appreciates the effort but, 1 class with a 4-month spread? 

With that said it was a good class with great heifers all the way down to 8th every heifer in the line up from 1st to 8th could have been justified to win the class and eventually the show.  
1. Hanna Winegardner GRAND
2. Kayla Campbell RES GRAND
3. Victoria Trbovitch
4. Curtis Harsh
5. Candace Muir
6. Hanna Winegarder
7. Derek Miller -----(Killer looking Dr.Who I may have had her 3rd)

8. Ashley Buell

Only 3 bulls but were very nice.

OSF Maine-Anjou Show

Little disappointing the Ohio State Fair Maine Show was small on numbers for as many breeders as there are and with the Beef Expo love affair with the Maine Sale. Guess I would really encourage the Ohio Maine breeders to step it up. If you want to make excuses about why to you did not show, look at the Muir Family. The Muir families county fair started on the day of the Maine show at the OSF and they were in strong attendance!

Ard Ridge
Around The Ring - Wednesday 22nd of July 2009 07:41:00 PM
 

I am pleased to announce that Stock Options will be handling the marketing duties for Ard Ridge's fall sale. "The Look" Volume 1 will take place on October 10th, 2009 and be held at the ranch near Nancy, KY.

I am very excited to work with the men at Ard Ridge on this event. They are offering for sale the "88" donor that has produced over $100,000 in prodigy sales… She is still young and very productive, it could be exciting what her new owner could get done….

Keep checking back for more on this fall’s schedule.

K&A Dispersal
Around The Ring - Tuesday 6th of January 2009 10:33:00 PM
 


       December 28th was a semi-sad day for the Bremer Family, Kenny and Audrey Dispersed their famous herd of Maine-Anjou cattle to a packed house in Anita, Iowa. John Boddicker was on hand for the Maines had some fine words of what K&A have meant to the Breed the last 30 or so years.  Steve Bonham took the duties of selling the cattle with C.T., Sears, Manley, and Rooney working out front.  
    This truly was one off the really good sets of cattle that were to be offered in ’08 and as I have shared with many it should have been, it was dispersal not just a production sale!
    Lot 3 a K&A Carly F602 granddaughter started the sale and brought $7,500 the Sooner Pregnancies sold well at about $3,700 with Charlie Long, Sooner Land and Cattle buying 3 of them.  K&A Carly herself brought sold for $15,000 to Brett Tolle Ky. For $15,000 you know he will make her work.  Jeff Miller and Todd Newell Teamed up to get two of my picks at the sale in Lots 4 &11 both High % Maine females at $7,600 & S5,500  Tim Burke the other sales consultant besides myself  set his sights on lot 5,  a Carly Daughter that I liked a bunch at $6,400.
    The Angus Cows were solid with my pick in lot 25 a ten year old donor selling at $7,000 to Carico, she had bone hair a killer look and track record I still think that one was a buy!
Lot 36 The Marsha donor sells for $8,000 and her pregnancies out of Dirty Harry commanded top dollar selling for $2800 to $3600. 119 was one I need to thank Fast Eddie & Curt for trying to get this one bought but we ran out of mullah as she sells for $7,500, the baldy clubby cattle all sold well my pick lot 43 sells at $6,000 but was out sold buy her page mate at 7K. Shorthorn cattle each brought at or a little over 3K  

Thanks to Kenny, Audry and family. 

Thanks to Shane, Jody, Chad, Ron, Eddy, BIG JIM FISHER, Jimmy, Rlint and others who allowed and trusted me to buy cattle for them.

By the way, Great job Kelly Short you cowboy'ed right up and made a heck of a hand! 


See ya around the ring!
