Exciting news from the Vente Fondation in Quebec

This year's edition of the Vente Fondation (Foundation Sale) managed by Jersey Quebec was held at the Salon International Laitier (International Dairy Showcase) on Thursday, April 15th.

41 head sold to buyers from Quebec, Ontario and Brazil.  The sale averaged $3111 across all lots, with a high seller of $9500 for Rapid Bay Maya Reagan Glitch, consigned by Rapid Bay Jerseys and purchased by RJ Farms of Corbyville, Ontario.

The big news?  20 out of the 41 lots were purchased by Quebec producers new to the Jersey breed within the last three years or making their first Jersey purchases!  WOW!!  Just an example of how the Jersey breed continues to accelerate forward in Quebec!
