Two Elite Coalition bucks bring $12,000 each

Active bidding from a capacity crowd and numerous online bidders kept the auctioneer and the ringmen busy at the Elite Coalition Boer Goat Sale held July 14 at the Four-States Fairgrounds in Texarkana, Ark.

Two bucks consigned by the Able Acres group brought $12,000 each to tie for high-selling buck. Lot #1 was a solid March-born buck out of the Duncan's new outcross buck HBS Absolute, who has deep roots in the wether industry. The other high-selling buck was Ripper's Reload, a Dec. 2009 son of ANR Wide Load, a Ripper son.

The high-selling doe was Lot #3, an elegant December 2011-born Status Quo daughter consigned by Dr. Bob Dressler of Pair A Docs Boers.
