The Rock-Home Dispersal Sale held this past Saturday, April 26th in Hillsboro, Kansas, will be remembered as the end of a chapter but definitely not the end of the Winter Family story in the dairy business. Three generations of dedicated cowmen developed this herd and assembled some of the breed’s best pedigrees ever to be offered in a single herd dispersal. The ending result was a solid average of $4,465.37 on 161 lots.
   The first part of the sale was the majority of the milking herd, followed by the fully prepared tied lots and then several bred heifers carrying embryos by many of the herd’s donor dams. Auctioneer Gary Estes said it best once they moved into the elite group in the middle – “We’ve been playing AAA, not it’s time for the Major Leagues!” Of those approximately 45 lots, the average was just shy of $10,000.
    Leading the way at $44,000 was Lot 11 - Calbrett Shottle Linda-ET. One of only two daughters of Petinesca Durham Ladina-ET (VG-89 Can) in the U.S., Linda is sired by Shottle and due to calve the end of August to Toystory. Her gr’dam is Savage-Leigh Bellwood Linda 2E-92 GMD DOM. Selling alongside Shottle Linda was Plain-O Sept Storm Kylee-ET, a 9/06 Sept Storm daughter of Broadmeade Durham Kelly (EX-94) – the HM All-American Sr. 3-Year-Old in ’04. Kylee is due to calve 9/1/08 with a Shottle Linda x Pontiac embryo. The pair was purchased by Gary Housner and Ron Suhr, WI.
    $30,000 was the winning bid from Don Esau, NE, for Lot 179. Carrousel Stormatic Ada-ET is a Stormatic daughter of Ms Leducd Add E (EX-92), next dam is Chief Adeen (2E-94 DOM). Ada is bred to Mac and due the beginning of August. Not too far away at $25,000 was Lot 182 – JK-RG Ram Marlene-Red-ET. A Rampage daughter from Rub Marlene-Red (EX-94), the Res. Grand Champion of the 2007 Grand Intl. R&W Show and recent Res. Grand Champion of the NY Intl. Spring R&W Show. She sold with an embryo package of 6 #1 Advent and 2 #2 Redliner embryos. Her new owner is Mike Eade, NY. Ten more lots were struck off for $10,000 or more and cattle were sold to 14 states.
    Managed by Dallas Burton and Ed Fellers, the sale staff included Auctioneer Gary Estes, Pedigree Reader Gayle Carson, Bobby Griggs, Jeff Woods, Alan Dykshorn, Darin Johnson, Robert Yeoman, Chris Reichard, Dusty Sherm, Don Esau, Nate Goldenberg and several more family and friends.
