Atlantica is TOP seller

MASTERRIND EXCLUSIVE - DIE AUKTION on February 26, 2025 in the Niedersachsenhalle closes with a rush of visitors, an incredible TOP seller and a real “run” on the segment of calved and genomically highly interesting animals.

TOP seller comes from Großenwörden
A small black calf, quite inconspicuous for an outsider but highly interesting for the professionals, was already highly priced in the run-up to this first-class auction. Atlantica, from the farm of Olaf Nimmert from Großenwörden, was the big winner of the evening. With a hammer price of 37,000 euros, she caused a sensation right at the beginning of the evening. Her great potential lies in her breeding values: 165 RZG, 3210 RZ€ and 3024 TPI. Her breeding value portfolio was so enticing that embryo contracts worth 22,500 euros have already been concluded for Atlantica. A breeder from Lower Saxony was awarded the contract.
High Love from Milchhof Düddingen in Stadland also presented himself as a top-class genomic sire. An RZG of 169 and an RZ€ of 3509 made her almost irresistible for a buyer from Schleswig Hostein, the hammer price was ultimately 26,000 euros.

Close behind with a price of 24.00 euros came WEH Bravo, a polled Real Syn daughter from the Garantie-Schmiede of Jürgen Hintze from Trebel. She scored with her outcross pedigree, which is unusual in polled breeding and will cause a buyer from Bavaria to shout “Bravo” from now on.
The calves were in great demand that evening. The absolutely disproportionately high quality contingent from this category met with buyers who could hardly keep their seats. The conformation-strong Fux Sometimes, the last calved-out cow from the former Hahn/Radke GbR breeding operation, moved to Lower Saxony for an incredible 9,200 euros. 
Höven Holsteins and Danhof Holsteins sent their calved Geiles Gerät into the race. She is the highest calving ease available in Europe according to TPI. With a hammer price of 8,500 euros, her new owner from the Netherlands certainly appreciated this.
Extended offer
In addition to Jerseys, a calved Brown Swiss was also on offer at this auction. She also sold like hotcakes. Emilia was sold to the North Sea coast for 8,700 euros.
For the first time in Europe, a high-class IVF session from No.3 after TPI was also auctioned! At a price of 14,000 euros, the perfect offer met with increased demand, with a TOP breeder from Saxony winning the bid.

The extraordinary atmosphere in the hall is unique and can only be experienced like this in Verden. The catwalk-like stage, the magnificent set-up, the emotional interplay between light and rousing music... no effort was spared to perfectly stage the unique EXCLUSIVE contingents. 

But even those who stayed at home on their farms showed great interest in DIE AUKTION. With over 3,000 viewers and bidders of this hybrid auction in the livestream, it once again enjoyed growing popularity.
Bidders came from all over Germany, with many bidding multiple times, such as the Wölsau insemination cooperative. However, there was also great interest from many European countries, so there was no shortage of purchases.
The average price was an impressive 8,596 euros.
