Funny story...well, kind of funny, unless you are a Green Bay Packers fan I guess. So everyone probably heard about that call the NFL replacement refs made a week ago on the last play of the Monday Night game (Packers vs. Seahawks). The NFL replacement refs awarded a very dubious Touchdown catch call to give the game to Seattle. Game ends just shy of midnight Central Time last Monday.....next day: Tuesday, September 25, 2012....farm auction just outside of Green Bay, WI. This sale was by my friends at Miller 'N Co. Auctions. I asked auctioneer Gregg Miller about folks mood last Tuesday after the Packers got ROBBED on the game's final play Monday night by the replacement refs...

"Folks weren't in a very happy mood," said Miller.

So did folks down mood affect the auction and sale prices on the nice line of used farm equipment for sale? Not that I could tell, chew on a few sale price highlights from this Sept. 25, 2012 northeast Wisconsin farm auction below:

CASE "RED POWER" SV250 TRICKED OUT SKID STEER SOLD FOR $77,000
Way cool....the good folks at CaseIH built a "1 of a kind" skid steer they called "RED POWER", a 2011 SV250 model totally tricked out with tons of chrome, red LED underlighting, wicked front bucket and custom red leather seat. All the proceeds from the online auction at www.Purplewave.com were going to FFA, both national & local level FFA chapters. So the online auction ended last night......$77,000!! Hats of to CaseIH and to Purplewave.com for putting together this unique FFA benefit auction. In case you missed it, here's a preview video I did on the cool, tricked out Case SV250 "Red Power" skid steer last month:
