STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — The search is on again for more Holstein heifers! The next “Know What You Buy” Heifer Sale is set for Thursday, July 17, at 10 a.m. at the Pennsylvania Holstein Association Farm,1806 River Road, Middletown.

“The cattle market continues to be strong because there’s brisk demand for bred and open recipient heifers. Our last two sales — the March sale averaged over $2425, while the latest one in May averaged nearly $2500.

“Increased demand means improved prices! If you have extra heifers, now is the time to sell!” proclaims David Lentz, PHA’s marketing director and executive director.

The sale is accepting heifers of all ages and stages from close springers due in early August (instant milk) to 5-month-old calves. The market favors springers and ready to breed heifers.

It is called the “Know What You Buy” Heifer Sale because at least 95% of the heifers will have Sire ID, if not Registered. There is a bonus if heifers are bred to sexed semen. Also, there will be a payback if your heifers are tested negative for leucosis. Full pedigrees are sought after too.

If you are a dairy producer or heifer raiser from the Mid-Atlantic region or other parts of the United States and have heifers to sell, then please call 717-329-9202 or contact PHA at director@paholsteins.com
