The 2013 National Holstein Convention held on April 10th with the Taste of Ontario National Convention Sale. Held at Cranston Farms, Ancaster, Ont., on a rainy and very cold spring day, the sale realized an outstanding average of $7960 (unofficial) on 95 lots. The tent is standing room only as a huge crowd has come to appreciate the impressive lineup put together by sale managers Jeff Stephens and Doug, Joan and James Cranston.
High seller so far at $79,000 is Lot 7 – Pierstein Gold Chip Rockstar, a 9/12 granddaughter of Thrulane James Rose EX-97. Rockstar won the senior calf class at last week’s Quebec Spring Show where she made lots of fans.
Commanding the top bid of $79,000 was Pierstein Gold Chip Rockstar, the September 2012 “Gold Chip” granddaughter of Thrulane James Rose (Ex-97-2E-2*), the three-time Royal Winter Fair grand champion and multiple All-Canadian and All-American winner. First senior calf and honourable mention junior champion at the recent Expo-Printemps Holstein Quebec, this fancy calf was purchased by Butlerview, Chebanse, Ill., from consignors Pierre Boulet, Montmagny, Que., and Jeff Stephens, Troy, Ont. Rockstar is from a Very Good-87 “Dundee” dam with 11,145 kg milk, 4.1% fat, 3.5% protein (243-262-256).

This calf had been consigned by Michael Heath and Jamie Black, Westminster, Md. Seimers also paid $42,000 for Lot 1 in the catalogue, Ms Apples Uno Aspire-ET, an October 2012 “Numero Uno” calf from the highly acclaimed show winner, KHW Regiment Apple-Red-ET (Ex-95-2E-USA-DOM-2*).
