Message from former MBA President Peter Kohl on the Spring Sale

Our MOKAN sale was a success. We had 351 good animals consigned to our spring sale. Prices were good in most categories but down in the heifer class. We did have a big problem with online bidding which I feel would have made a difference in the prices per head in some categories. I had a lot of people who were planning to buy animals online. I have talked to some of those people who said that they were unable to follow or hear. We are hoping to have those problems corrected. I plan to talk with Jim Hertzog and get this worked out.

I want to thank Susan for all her help putting the catalog together, thanks to Robert Long for help with advertising and horus on the phone promoting. Thanks to Carol Morris for getting the trophies. We also want to thank Jim Hertzog, family, and staff for all they did to make this a good auction.
