Quantcast $600,000 world record Hereford
We have a lot of Steer Planet Members spread throughout the midwest, a great way to help those affected by the tornado is to text REDCROSS to 90999 ($10)
This provides a $10 donation directly to the Red Cross, a great organization that does make an actual difference (their administration costs are less than 5% of the money they raise).

I saw it on the colyer facebook page this morning. I didnt read your article but I would gather that Sullivans bought him since it says Dunlap IA. There was some info on the syndicate too. Pretty crazy times.

They bought the lead off cow at star lakes sale. They have also picked up a few others along the way.

C Miles McKee, looks like a really good calf. It's ironic, my first major win at a state fair was Judged by Miles McKee and it also was a Hereford. That was fourty-six years ago. This was before they had a crossbreed class. I always did well under judge McKee and Herman Purdy.

Maybe they can name one of his offspring, Herman Purdy.

I read in the Sullivan bull sale flyer they mentioned they were developing several breeds now. Both angus. Char. Herf.

Guess they ain't messing around.

It's true....I go to school at KSU and one of my teachers is Dr. Scott Schaake.  we got to watch the sale in class.  I have never seen something go for so much in my life, but now I can say I have witnessed it for myself.

You witnessed something. I am sure everyone one of us has seen "high dollar" animals sell that never get transfered, check is never wrote, or cattle is trades between the two parties.
I am not saying that is what happened, (because we all give Sullivans plenty of money at every show!)  but just because you "saw it", doesn't mean it happened.

If it was legit, congratulations to all involved!

It says he was syndicated and all the members of the syndicate will be announced. I say its legit otherwise they wouldnt bring up those other names.
