Less than a week after the April 6 meeting, 15 Guernsey calves and heifers will be offered at the Carousel Colored Breed Sale. That date is Friday April 1; the time is 6 p.m. and the place is the NYS Fairgrounds in Syracuse.

Consignors include Cargile Farm, Coon Bros, Craigmoor, Johnsons, Piskorowski, Ripley Farm and Toolite. Animals will be selling from some of the most sought after cow families in the breed including Chupps Farm Mentor Mary, Flambeau Manor HS Lark, Sunrise Luxury Tami and Lang Haven Aaron Treasure.

The Carousel’s Spring Guernsey Show takes place Saturday, April 13, beginning at 1 p.m. Adam Liddle will be the official. Entry information may be found at www.nyholsteins.com. Click on Carousel. Dick Whalen is the show chairperson.
