New York connection pays off for Meixners dairy pair
Bob and Pat Meixner of Rock Falls recouped about 20 percent of their 1979 New York Holstein herd purchase after selling Braintrim A Rocket Sela for 20,000 dollars to Jim Quist of Conquistador Farms in Fresno California. Sela, a top milker with 23,467 pounds in her first lactation, may yield 100,000 dollars in her lifetime. Meixners credit Don Mullen and Steve Mergen for guiding the sale through Holstein Association channels and Carnation Farms for the eventual buyer. They also note a potential 20,000 to 25,000 value in a Diamond sister and other calves as part of their breeding program.
