The largest crowd in many years gathered at the Stanislaus County Fairgrounds in Turlock, CA to witness a very strong set of open heifers sell to buyers from throughout the state. The donation heifer donated by Schnoor Sisters, Chowchilla, CA sold at $2,000 to Sierra Meyers, Madera, CA. All the proceeds from this generous donation went to the California Junior Angus Association. Darrell Silveira, Silveira Bros., Firebaugh, CA was honored at the 2006 California Angus Days Banquet and annual meeting that was well attended. The sale heifers who sold to junior members were shown the next morning in the California Angus Days Calcutta. Judge of the event was Brant Poe, College Station, Texas. His Grand Champion Calcutta Female went to PT Freeze Frame 406, a 3-20-06 daughter of BR Midland. She was consigned by Pheasant Trek, Wilton, CA and had sold to Wyatt Colburn, Visalia, CA who received $750 for his win. The Reserve Grand Champion Calcutta Female received $500 and went to PT Missie 506, a 4-6-06 daughter of Famous 7001. She was consigned by Pheasant Trek, Wilton, CA and had sold to Wyatt Colburn, Visalia, CA. All heifers shown in the Calcutta received $50 for leading in. The sale committee must be commended on a job well done.

A large crowd gathered to witness cattle sell to 59 buyers from six states. The temperature was mild, the demand was active and the results were strong. Calving ease was certainly the word of the day. Hospitality put forth by the Kast and Hooper families was, as usual, top notch. Thiel Livestock, Nyssa, OR took the top registered female in 101 Tamie L631, 9-5-01 by 101 Fame 4802 with a 10-3-06 bull by 101 Grid Maker EM3 selling at $2,400. Zink Family Partnership, Filer, ID paid $1,300 for the Commercial Bred Heifers and took home all 50 of them at that figure. Volume bull buying honors went to Cline Ranch, Sweet, ID; Curtis Dent, Richmond, UT; and Peavey & Hoots, Deeth, NV; each taking 5 lots or more. The cattle were well presented. Congratulations are in order to both programs for a job well done.
