Seattle from Marco Hellwig & Stefan Siepermann, sold for €50.000.
There was a lot of enthousiasm for the 47 lotnumbers at the HighlightSale last Friday in Hamm, Germany. From this total of 47 sale heifers 41 were sold for a tremendous average of € 8.066! Salesmasher was RZH SIE Seattle. With such an amazing genomic profile it was already certain before the sale that she would be the topseller this year. But nobody expected that she would be sold for € 50.000. The second highest seller was HET Charlene (Soundcloud-Sound System) at €29,000. Charlene, who tests well on many total indexes (2743 gTPI/400 gNVI/160 gRZG), comes from a cow family that needs little introduction: the Cosmopolitans. The sale averaged €8,066.
