The O-KOP Holstein Dispersal held over the weekend in Nebraska was full of great cows and the buying kind of crowd.
According to sale manager Alan Dykshorn, "We had a beautiful day for the O-Kop Holstein Dispersal. There was a fantastic crowd on hand and the bidding was fast & furious from the crowd and the phones. Gary and Diane Ossenkop have breed an outstanding herd of cows, along their offspring, and many folks took advantage of this great offering by adding O-Kop genetics to their operations."
The sale average was $2440.
The high seller was Lot 49 O-KOP Redliner Stephany *RC that sold to Canada for $10,250.
