It is our pleasure to announce the purchase of Impact 920, a Money Maker son, from Brian Reilly and Eric Petersen. We purchased 920 in partnership with RSO and Rand Whitney.
Both Rand and the Fred Knop family used 920 for 2011 lambs with outstanding results.
We thank Brian Reilly and Eric Petersen for the opportunity to purchase this proven, outstanding Money Maker son.
Be sure to check out the 2011 lambs sired by 920 which are consigned to the Fred Knop Family’s Online Sale to be held April 10-April 11 at www.wlivestock.com.
