The Celebration at Lylehaven – End of an Era

For over thirty five years Lylehaven has been a “Sign of Good Breeding”. Jerry Rappaport, a well-respected attorney and businessman set his sights high when he wanted to breed the perfect cow – a combination of beauty, longevity and performance. He wanted to own a great show herd, win Grand Champion recognitions at National Shows, win Premier Exhibitor, and ultimately win Premier Breeder and Best Three Females. All goals he achieved with great pride over the past four decades. (Read more: LYLEHAVEN: Developing the Dream) This era now ends as Lylhaven celebrates their success with this one final sale.

A standing room only crowd of over six hundred people spilled out of the tent. One hundred and thirty three full lots crossed the ring to establish the sale average of $ 5935. Owner, Jerry Rapport welcomed the crowd and gave highlights of Lylehaven reaching this historic day. He recognized the past farm managers and offered his appreciation to the dedication and talent of farm manager, Sue Brown.
