Snapshots shown below were
taken at the British White Cattle Auction near Bells, Texas, USA on Saturday, October 13, 2001.
Pictures taken by Walter Bohaty, Bellwood, Nebraska. Walter & his wife, Nancy are owners of
largest herd of British White Cattle in North America.
I'm sure you will agree after viewing Walters
pictures that we had a totally enjoyable event, meeting new friends, new members, and new British
White Breeders as well as seeing, visiting and renewing memories with old friends. We also had
another great British White sale.
Sale Results:
Lot #22 was the overall high selling lot, a cow-heifer/calf pair for $4300. Nine
pairs averaged $3200.
Lot #1 was high selling bred cow, for $3850. Fifteen bred cows averaged $2400.
Lots 27 & 34 tied for high selling open heifer, each went for $2100. Nine open heifers aged
from 11 to 12 ½ months old averaged $1800.
Lot # 38 was high selling young bull, going for $1500. Six bulls aged from 9 to 12 months old
averaged $950.
Overall average for 39 lots was $2200.
Interest in registered British White Cattle remains at an all
time high as was indicated by the full stands right up to the very end with bidders actively trying
for their favorite animal. The high selling bred cow was next to the last one
sold.
British White Cattle were sold to breeders from 7 states,
Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, New York, North Carolina and West Virginia.

her..
