2005 Sale Summary "Celebrating Our Fifth Anniversary"

When we started "Calf Quest" five years ago, we were both in high school. Each year the quality of the consigned animals has improved. This year consignments came from Kansas, Illinois, Iowa and Missouri and a calf from the top selling heifer of two years ago came back as one of the consignments. Buyers came from Kentucky, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri, so no one can ever underestimate the power of internet advertising.

The top selling heifer came from Drechsel Farms of Boonville bringing $2050 and going to her new home in Paris, MO.

2004 Sale Summary

All twelve heifers consigned sold with $1800, the highest selling lot consigned by John and Patsy Watt, Rocheport, MO going to Meagan Syphrett, Eldorado, KS. Cody Mundell, Browning, MO took home the highest selling steer at $1575 consigned by Kalen Miller, Newton, MO. Eighty-four per cent of this year's consignments sold from the auction block averaging $1108 per head. Five others sold after the sale.

Planning for Calf Quest 2004 began in January and took us as far as Indiana to screen calves for this year's sale.
