Ohio Holstein Memorabilia Auction
The Ohio Holstein Association recently put in new flooring at their state office, and with some reorganization in their storage room, some extra items need a new home. We are working with Cowbuyer.com to offer the Ohio Holstein Memorabilia Auction, with all proceeds to go to OHA for use in breeder programs.
We know there are those out there who like to collect or have interest in older breed items, both from Ohio and from a national stage, and we hope this reaches you!
There are a few volumes of the Type and Production Year Books and Herd Book records that are extras in our assemblage. Many of the volumes and catalogs offered are from the well-kept collection of Mr. I.M Cavanagh, given to the OHA by his family. There are several older sale catalogs as well, some have handwritten notes from Mr. Cavanagh, but most are clean copies. A large accumulation of past Holstein World issues are available, as well as some Ohio State Show catalogs.
The sale is on Cowbuyer.com and will close beginning at
7:00 p.m. eastern on March 4, 2025.
Terms and instructions can be found on the sale site or in this pdf. Terms of OHA Memorabilia Sale

Please read the Terms of OHA Memorabilia Sale. All items must be paid for and picked up (or concrete arrangements made) within 30 days of the sale or disposal methods will be utilized.
