  2008 New England Spring Sale
Molly Brook consigned three of the top five high-selling individuals of the 57th New England Spring Sale. All were "Flower" descendents.

For the second consecutive year, we consigned the two top-selling animals - a pair of "Rebel" daughters - in the New England Spring Sale. The high seller was Molly Brook Rebel Fanciness. She sold to Dan and Lisa Martin, Gratiot, WI, for $6,700.

The second high seller was Molly Brook Rebel Faylene. She was purchased by Stewart White, East Ryegate, VT, for $6,000.

  2006 Vermont State Sale

We sold the two top-selling individuals at the 70th Annual Vermont State Sale. Topping the sale for $5,100 was Molly Brook Jace Prom. Her dam is a maternal sister to the heifer we consigned to the 2005 National Heifer Sale. We send a special thank you to Little Brook Dairy, Alexandria, MN, for purchasing this terrific junior yearling.

Taking home Molly Brook Jace Burner for $3,125 was fellow Vermont Jersey breeder, Diane Wyatt, West Newbury. The junior yearling sold due to "Hallmark Reflection" in early March 2007. Her VG-80% dam has 19,730M, 928F and 743P at 4-3. Her E-90% grandam has more than 18,000M and an E-92% maternal sister with over 127,000M lifetime.

News Flash...
"Prom" calved at 1-8 and Little Brook Dairy said she has a lovely disposition and a great udder. She's giving 55 lbs. of milk a day and the dairy is expecting great things from her.

   
  2006 New England Spring Sale
We also consigned the two top-selling individuals at this year's New England Spring Sale. The high seller, who sold for $5,300 to Loren J. Ruth, Spring City, PA, was Molly Brook Jace Figure.

The second high seller was Molly Brook Freedom Jazzy. She was purchased by Dan and Lisa Martin, Gratiot, WI, for $4,300. She is a Mollybrook Glnwood Freedom-ET daughter out of an Excellent Molly Brook Brass Major daughter. The 20-month-old heifer is due to "Rocket" in early July.

This year, we consigned the second-high seller of the Vermont State Sale, the 69th of this series to be hosted by our home state. Thanks goes to fellow Vermont Jersey breeder, Stewart E. White, East Ryegate, for purchasing Molly Brook Paramount Futurity for $3,800. The nine-month-old "Futurity" is a great-granddaughter of "Flower."

  2005 National Heifer Sale

A very special thanks goes to the Eagles Only Syndicate, Crockett, VA, for purchasing Molly Brook Jace Prime, our National Heifer Sale consignment, for $6,000. "Prime" was the sixth-high seller of the day and our opportunity to contribute to the worthy cause of this special event: Jersey research and youth activities.

   

2004 All American Jersey Sale
The All American Jersey Sale was a very special evening for us. Our two consignments fared well on the auction block and proved the value of our breeding program.

Molly Brook Jace Frost-ET was high-selling female. Her full sibling brother, Molly Brook Jace Freeze, was the second high-selling male!

A special thanks goes to the buyers and contenders.  It was hard for us to part with these fine individuals, but we know they will be as happy with them as we were!
