AHA Announces FY 2010 Registrations, Sales Numbers (9/7/2010)
The American Hereford Association's (AHA) fiscal year (FY) ended Aug. 31. During FY 2010 the average price paid for a Hereford - both females and bulls - increased. This is exciting considering the state of the economy and the decreasing national cow herd size. The breed also experienced increases in registrations and transfers.
Fiscal year numbers totaled 64,907 registrations, up from 64,293 last year, and 34,767 transfers, up from 31,747 last year. Cows on inventory totaled 101,677 and there were 3,441 active adult members and 2,244 active junior members.
A total of 161 Hereford production sales were reported by Hereford World staff this fiscal year. Bull sales averaged $3,261 up from $3,194 last fiscal year and females averaged $2,587, up $103 from last year. Across the board the Herefords averaged $97 more per lot on 206 more lots than last year, with 9,573 total lots reported by AHA field representatives.
