Dollars Diamond D Ranch
Russellville, Ark.

The Quest has always been considered as one of the most important sales each year in terms of the quality of cattle and genetics available. This year was possibly the very best ever held considering the severe drought in the majority of states around Arkansas plus the fact of the devastation of the hurricanes. It was simply amazing that close to 350 people attended the sale with the concerns of another hurricane brewing. Fortunately the Quest was on the western edge and the sale was finished about 45 minutes before the bad weather. Cattle, semen or embryos sold to Brazil, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Alabama, Kentucky, Arkansas, Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Montana, Iowa, Illinois, Oregon, Tennessee, Indiana, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Colorado, Michigan and Canada.
