SALES
Each year, the OJBA sponsors the Ohio Spring Classic Sale.
Offered are some of the most well-known, best-quality Jersey genetics in the state
- and across the country.
For five of the past seven years, the Ohio Spring
Classic has been the highest-averaging state sale reported in the
Jersey Journal.
This year, a record-high average for the
series was reached - $3,396.47 on 78 quality lots. The average surpassed
last year's record-high average by more than $620 and was boosted by the
sale of 14 head that sold for $5,000 or more. The sale was held on
May 28, 2007, at the Shelby County Fairgrounds, in Sidney.
