The Grand National Ayrshire Sale, sponsored by Trans Ova Genetics, will be held on June 24, 2017 in Des Moines, Iowa.
The Iowa Ayrshire Club has hosted six National Ayrshire Conventions since 1957, each with some of the very best Ayrshire 
females, bulls, frozen semen and embryos available, each in their day.
The 2017 National Convention will be at Prairie Meadows Casino and Event Center near the intersection of Interstate Highways 80 and 35, the crossroads of North America. The sale will be at the nearby Iowa State Fairgrounds with David Koss serving as Sale Chairman, assisted by Karen Koss as Iowa Ayrshire Secretary and Treasurer.
Trans Ova Genetics provides industry-leading reproductive technologies and expertise to cattle breeders through a unique professional services team that works closely with clients to understand their breeding goals, and ultimately help clients advance and extend superior genetics.
“We are excited about the support the Iowa Ayrshire Association is receiving for another National Convention,” stated Iowa Ayrshire Association Finance Director Eric Lang. “The Trans Ova organization was started by an Iowa Ayrshire youth, Daryl Funk, along with David Faber, also a DVM, and has become a world leader in reproductive technology, and an American success story by any measure.”
Trans Ova, as Sale Sponsor with a $1200 contribution, joins Convention Sponsor Beck’s Seed Co., who contributed $7500, garnered by Iowa Ayrshire President Dane Lang.
Other convention donors include Ag Plus/Hubbard Feeds, Inc. at $1200, D and R Feed and Victor Oil Co., both with $1000 in donations, as well as SCR Dairy by Allflex, Realm, Inc., Eugene Newell and Garry Zumbach.
