Good Sales Don't Just Happen - They're Managed

The-Long-View Grand Finale

An unseasonably warm mid-October day made for a very enjoyable celebration of Frank and Geri Pehrson's long career in breeding fine registered Holsteins. Billed as "Not the largest dispersal of the year, but certainly one of the finest", The-Long-View Grand Finale averaged an impressive $2857.

Leading the lineup was Lot #1, the EX-92 The-Long-View Remington Rose. This 3rd generation EX just finishing with over 34,300 1150 1071 at 3Y and due in Dec to Durham was just one of several outstanding Carrousel Remington daughters in the herd. LeRoy Eggink, Sibley, IA, outlasted four bidders over $11,500 to take her home for $12,200. They also selected her VG-87 Jr 2 Yr Old daughter by Han-Me-Down Kolossus for $5300. Two lots sold for $5200. A stylish Encore scored VG-87 2Y and due in March to Integrity from an EX-91 Highlight with 1639F was the choice of Chad Kettler, Chippewa Falls, WI. Her extremely big, black and silky Sept '03 Durham maternal sister headed to Long Haven Farms in Clayton, MI for their spring show string.

The Pehrson's had bred and exhibited a long list of show winners, including two homebred All-Americans. They hosted a wonderful pre-sale lunch as part of this special event. Tom Morris Ltd managed the sale with Tom in the box and Sandy at the clerk’s table, and assisted by Steve Peterson, Scott Courtney, Don Mayer, Todd and Steve Searles, Rick Pagel and Norm Grams.
