Sell Under Cover

This is an outstanding opportunity to purchase hard-to-find, home-raised, farm fresh high quality herd replacements in volume. This herd has been on official DHIA testing for many years with current records indicating a herd average of 2X 23,279 milk, 4.1% 931 fat, 3.1% 721 protein, 75 pound tank average with 47 over 100 pounds with beautiful udders. SCC averaging approx. 100,000. Several recently fresh or due soon after sale time. The herd has been aggressively culled in preparation for this dispersion. The Lanners have used herd sires exclusively from the Melarry (Hackett) herd for over 10 years. All cows sired by or in service to sons of high TPI and NM sires including: 12 sons of Frazzled, plus more by Helix, Resolve, Reason, Nugent, Curry, Rolan, Moola and Solution. An excellent herd health program has been in place for many years with all cows vaccinated and boosted annually with Bovishield Gold 5L5 and One Shot. At dry off all cows receive J-vac and revaccinated with J-vac 3 three weeks prior to calving. Cows also receive Quartermaster and U-seal. All bred heifers vaccinated with Bovishield Gold 5L5 pre-breeding. Hooves are trimmed monthly. Cows have very good feet, legs and overall mobility. Cows are milked in a 21 swing parlor and housed in a free-stall facility. In order to expedite the sale process, cows and heifers will be sold in lots from 1 to 4 head per lot. Any cattle sold in multiples will be sorted in uniform lots as to age, lactation stages and production.
