The Land of Lincoln sale just keeps improving year end and year out. This year
will be the 17th sale held by the Land of Lincoln group. We want to start off by welcoming breeders from Illinois and across the country to the Diamond A sale facility. The sale group continues to offer high quality Simmental and Sim Angus genetics that work for their customers. Whether you have been many years to the sale or this could be your first trip to Altamont, please consider this weekend and visit with a great group of breeders. Each year the bar seems to be raised with the offering of quality seed stock. The proof has been the many years of success stories and satisfied customers across the country. First off, we would like to thank the sale host Diamond A Farms and their families. They open the doors to their facility and farm with their gracious hospitality. On another note we want to acknowledge plus offer a huge congratulation to all the crew at Diamond A Farm which was awarded the Illinois Seed Stock Breeders of the Year. What an honor for their Simmental operation. The whole offering is strong from all breeders involved with a great set of bred heifers coming to you bred up early to some of the leading bulls in today’s industry. In the open heifer division, the 2016 opens are solid and of high quality. No matter what state you hail from, the Land of Lincoln will be a great place to offer consideration in selecting your next show prospect. Many show heifers from last year’s sale won banners and championships and are working for their new owners. We want to offer congratulations to the Sara Sullivan and the Sullivan families for their success on the two opens they purchased out of last year’s sale. Review the back cover with their photos. We hope much of the harvest is completed by sale week however we would encourage any interested parties to call or even stop by the respective farms prior to sale week. I also invite you to thumb thru the catalog and watch any videos online and if needed contact any of the breeders if you have any questions. The office and shop will be utilized on Friday for hospitality and the pre-sale lunch on Saturday plus the office area for the sale. The Land of Lincoln sale has been one of the strong and consistent sales year after year in the state and the quality is better than ever so please come and view the offering plus take in the great hospitality offered by the Land of Lincoln group of breeders. If Drew, Holli, or I can be of any assistance with your purchases or answers any questions don’t hesitate to call at anytime. Also, make note to the new motel Cobblestone Inn and Suites at the Altamont exit. We hope you can attend however if not utilize DV Auctions. See you there.
