The Northeast Iowa Community College (NICC) Dairy Science club members will be holding their fifth annual consignment sale at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 14 at the Fayette County Fairgrounds in West Union.
They will be selling approximately 50 lots, featuring consignments from the top Holstein breeders in Iowa. All animals will be Holsteins, with some Red and Whites. A special feature for buyers this year will be the opportunity to bid on “Picks of Flushes” and embryos.
A unique consignment this year is a pick of the flushes from Cotton, a favorite in the Dairy Foundation herd of many current students and alumni. AI companies are supporting the sale with semen to be used in a silent auction. Select Sires has donated five units of Planet and five units of Alexander; Excaliber has donated five units of Reality and five units of Cade; Genex has donated five units of ToyStory and five of Kolten. Taurus has donated five units of the buyer’s choice, and ABS will also be making a donation.
