Beautiful spring weather in Mt. Sterling, Ky., made for a great weekend to host the 15^th Annual Bluegrass Gelbvieh Invitational. An outstanding set of top quality females were presented by nine consignors from across the southeast.  

Topping the sale was Lot 15/15A, Ms. Highlight 190Y ET and her heifer calf, consigned by Larry P & Sunny D Farms. This two year old, homozygous polled, full sister to GBNR Captain 42X was a crowd favorite. Circle B Gelbvieh outlasted several bidders to own this powerful pair at $6,100. 

Next high selling female was the three-in-one package consigned by Gentle G Farm. Ruby Red and her CTR Highlight daughter, Gentle G 44Z, were easy to find. Lot 27 and 27A was a high performance pair that sold split in the ring and was kept together by Green Hills Gelbvieh for $4,000. 

Coming in at $3,900 was Lot 20/20A, Gabby 4U2 ET and her Edison daughter. Mark Webster and Zach Thompson landed on this young pair that sold first through the ring. 

Gelbvieh Bar None Ranch consigned Lot 26/26A, Freedom's Image ET and her Maverick bull calf. This proven female is a full sister to Freedom's Reflection. Her bull calf by Maverick combines unusual eye appeal and performance. Silver Farms added this pair to their front pasture for $3,700. 

Also selling at $3,700 was Lot 17/17A consigned by Green Hills Gelbvieh. Delta 928W and her bull calf was one of several lots purchased by David May. 

Following closely at $3,600 was Lot 18/18A, Bar None Ms. Highlight and her Chief Executive bull. This homozygous black, Highlight 066K female will make her new home at Brendy Hill Farm.
