The Airoso family will celebrate its 100th anniversary of dairying in California with a dairy consignment sale at World Ag Expo in Tulare on February 16.
The sale, which will showcase some of the best genetic opportunities that Holstein and Jersey breeds have to offer, is the first-ever dairy sale at World Ag Expo. All proceeds from the sale’s first lot, Air-Osa Passion for AG-Red, will be donated to the Ag Warriors program which will benefit veterans in search of long-term careers in agriculture.
In total, 85 Holsteins and 15 Jerseys will sell at World Ag Expo’s Entertainment Pavilion. A preview will begin at 2:00 p.m., followed by the auction at 4:00 p.m. After the conclusion of the sale, dinner will be served followed by live entertainment by Michael Peterson and Chaparral.
“We really believe in this program and want to play a role in supporting veterans who have done so much for our country,” said Joey Airoso. “Agriculture is one of the most important industries in this country, and it’s nice to be able to partner with veterans who are interested in, and appreciate what we’re doing.”
A full sale catalog and details are available online.
