With the “Stars of Sahara Sale” less than 3 weeks away, news is just in of the great classification they recently had!
Every milking sale animal is scored Excellent or VG- even the 2 year olds, and there were some really great individual scores which only enhance the world renowned pedigrees they are bred from.
Highlights of the day included Wiltor September Raven going EX-93 (EX-94 Mam), making her the 6th generation of EX or VG cows from the Markwell Bstar E Raven EX-95 cow family. Milking in her third lactation, she recently won the Interbreed honours at Monmouth show. She sells on Friday 17th September with daughters by Sanchez and Duplex.
Sahara Damion Tessie VG-89 3yr, despite being only a few weeks fresh scored VG-89 3yr (EX Mam), she of course is the reigning Reserve Champion Milking Heifer from the 2010 National Holstein Show. Damion Tessie completes 10 generations of EX or VG cows and sells ready for the Show ring.
A number of milking heifers scored VG as 2 year olds including Sahara Advent Enjoy VG-87 2yr, and Sahara Advent Elegance VG-87 2yr full sisters bred from 5 Excellent dams including three which are EX-96 she is a grand-daughter of the Unanimous All-American 5 year old Budjon-JK Linjet Eileen EX-96. Advent Enjoy sells with her three Goldwyn daughters, whilst Advent Elegance also has a Goldwyn daughter in the sale.
Achieving the same score was Sahara Damion Ebony VG-87 2yr, whose two closest dams are both scored Excellent, she goes back to the former #1 CTPI cow Rocky-Vu Rotate Exctasy Ebony EX-94, she sells as do her two full sisters and VG-87 2yr maternal sister by Pursuit September Storm. Sahara Goldwyn Adeen VG-87 2yr is from a Maternal sister to one of the world’s hottest cows MD-Delight Durham Atlee EX-92, the unanimous All American 3 year old.
Several other sale heifers went VG as 2 year olds including two Advent daughters from Gloryland Lori Rae EX-91, which are potentially the 9th generation of Excellent, a Talent daughter of Savage Leigh Licorice EX-92 and a grand-daughter of the World Dairy Expo Champion Vandyk-K Integrity Paradise EX-96. Also for those looking for Red and White bloodlines Glaslough Talent Kim Red bred from the World renowned Kimo family scored EX-91.

Friday 17th September will witness one of the most eagerly anticipated sales of 2010 take place, when Sahara Holsteins stage their first ever sale at Church Farm, Wilcrick, Magor, Momouthshire.
Having invested in some of the world’s leading cow families, through an extensive ET programme, they are now excited to be able to offer for sale a mouth-watering selection of top quality Holstein Genetics in the aptly named “Stars of Sahara Sale”
Many of the world’s top cow families will be represented in the sale, including members of the Savage-Leigh Licorice, Windy-Knoll View Promise, Copywood Integrity Sara, Lavender Ruby Redrose, Kingstead Chief Adeen, Shoremar S Alicia, Tri-Day Ashlyn, (via Ambrosia and Ashlyns Angel) Budjon JK Linjet Eileen, DRA August, Regan-Joy Durham Regenia and Markwell BSTar E Raven families sell. Whilst primarily the focus at Sahara is to breed for exceptional type, from marketable and established cow families, the first genomic results received back from the U.S are very encouraging of animals selling, with both high GTPI (over 2000) and GPTAT (over 3.5) scores on members of the Ashlyn and Regenia families offered in the sale
Owned by Sheikha Noora Al-Khalifa, and managed by David Jones, the Sahara herd has gone from strength to strength since it was established in 2007. Housed and managed in the fantastic facilities in Wilcrick, animals exhibited under the Sahara prefix have enjoyed incredible success at the shows in recent years, winning numerous awards and an enviable list of All Britain nominations.
In 2009 Sahara won an incredible 5 out of 6 classes at the National Calf Show held at the Centenary Holstein Show, and Canadian judge Dan Doner awarded them a clean sweep in the Championship winning Champion, (Ridgefield Fortune Ash Angel) Reserve (Sahara Damion Tessie) and Honorary Mention (Ridgefield Show Rosie). The next day under fellow Canadian judge Brian Carscadden they then went on to win Junior Champion (Sahara Damion Tessie) and Champion Calf (Sahara Damion Sara) in the Open Show.
This year’s National Holstein Show was equally as successful, providing Sahara with 4 class winners, including Junior Champion, whilst the Royal Welsh this year also provided them with Champion Holstein and Champion Heifer in milk- many of these show-winning animals sell ready to grace the show-ring for their new owners on Friday 17th September.
On arrival, the sale cattle and the full facilities at Sahara will be available for inspection with complimentary food and drink served from 11.30am onwards, the Stars of Sahara Sale selling 70 head will commence at 1pm, with Norton and Brooksbank residing in the rostrum, catalogues will be available from them in due course.
The potential of the animals selling is unlimited, with proven show successes, and many more who will undoubtedly tread the tanbark in future months and years, this sale represents a fantastic opportunity for every Holstein enthusiast to invest in the very best!
