VENDORS
PLEASE COMPLETE AN ENTRY CARD FOR ALL
SECTIONS
- WITH FULL DETAILS AND IT IS IMPERATIVE TO HAVE
YOUR CORRECT DETAILS REGARDING TB (PARISHES &
TESTING DATES) AND YOU HAVE COMPLETED AN
ENTRY CARD ESPECIALLY REGARDING YOUR FARM
ASSURANCE STATUS.
YOU MAY LOSE OUT ON PRICE IF YOU DO NOT
SUPPLY THE RIGHT INFORMATION
IMPORTANT NOTICE
FARM ASSURANCE
Due to the Farm assurance body unable to give us a real time
database or actual up to date information on your assurance status
we rely on YOU the producers to give us the correct information.
Therefore if you present your cattle as farm assured when they are
not this is a misdescription and you are representing your cattle
fraudulently.
When the animal gets to the abattoir they have specific outlets for
these animals and often don’t for nonfarm assured stock so they
deduct massively. This is due to the time and loss of animal to the
batch that was bought for a specific job.
They cannot be returned from an abattoir therefore you are in their
hands. The deduction could be £150.
PLEASE GIVE US THE CORRECT INFORMATION

BEEF
CATTLE
EVERY FRIDAY AT approximately 12noon
STORE CATTLE
Every Friday
(To commence after the sale of the beef approximately 12.30pm)
Prices peaked at 204 or £1,362.20
Prices Peaked at £1,220 or 250.0p
45 Trade seemed very subdued today. Quality and type
were the main problem. If it was a very good beast and
was over 30months or not farm assured this decreased the
price. Another issue is the dead weight centres pre booking
cattle for up to 3 weeks in advance making less of a demand
for cattle when numbers are in short supply. However we
did get to 204p for a native breed steer. In the Bull section
the same thing too small, the big, not farm assured, over
16months old or not finished. That about summed the entry
up.
Please contact us with your entries so that we can market
your cattle to their best ability. Please look at the ages and
ask our staff the best section to put them in, some of the over
30months beef would have been better sold in the cows and
vice versa in the cows.

95 MORE Cattle are needed for this section. Some fantastic
prices have been achieved for the types of cattle forward. A
packed ring of buyers all determined to buy cattle is making
a real trade for the good the bad and the ugly. I don't think
that its worth some people fattening cattle. They are better
sold as good stores. For more information regarding prices
or marketing your cattle please do not hesitate to contact
Alastair who would be pleased to assist you.

Cumbria took place at Beeston Castle Auction,
Cheshire on Friday, 28th February following the
Western Holstein Club’s Monthly Show and Sale.
It was a fantastic day! But it had all the right
ingredients – dispersal, good health status including
4yr TB, cubicle housing, big production, super
pedigrees and great cattle. Consequently there was a
huge crowd at the sale with a big presence from
Scotland, the North of England and West Wales but the
cattle generally were distributed over a wide area
including Devon, Northern Ireland and Southern
Ireland.
The sale can trace its pedigree history back to the
nineties and since then three main families – Aldina,
Pretzel and Sabrina – have developed and accounted
for over half the sale cattle and all three trace back to
cows that were purchased as embryos from deep North
American cow families. The production attributes were
phenomenal with the cows averaging almost 11000 kg
at 4.27% butterfat and 3.27% protein with cell counts
at 117. At the last recording before the sale the average
daily yield was 37.5 kg.
Trade was great from start to finish achieving a
wonderful average of £2874 for the whole herd. Within
that average it is interesting to note that the 28 oldest
cows – all fourth calf or older and up to tenth calvers
averaged £2025 which is incredible and all the heifers
that have calved since August averaged a staggering
£3881 for 28. Another incredible stat – 37 animals sold
for 3000 gns or more which is almost a third of the
herd!
Eight animals made 5000 gns or more selling to a top
of 8000 gns and three of these, including the top seller,
were purchased by Terry Parkin who was buying for
his Barnard Herd based at Marwood, Barnard Castle,
Co Durham. The top seller was the glorious heifer
Dunnerdale Windbrook Sabrina 2nd who has five
straight Excellent dams and six Excellent sisters and is
a grand daughter of the 110 tonne foundation cow and
whose dam was the 120 tonne Integrity Sabrina (Ex947E & SP). Also joining the Barnard Herd are two
members of the Pretzel family and both were out of 8
generation VG/EX dams who were maternal sisters.
7
Selling for 7200 gns (third highest price) was
Dunnerdale Steady Pretzel (VG86-2yr) who calved last
August and was out of a VG87-2yr Goldwyn whilst
Lauthority Pretzel (VG85-2yr), whose dam was an
Ex90-2E Talent, sold for 4000 gns. The fourth heifer
joining the Barnard Herd was Dunnerdale Fever
Aldina (VG86-2yr) who sold for 5900 gns.
The second top seller was another Sabrina by
Windbrook; this was the third last heifer to be sold and
was Dunnerdale Windbrook Sabrina 4th. Her dam was
a 6th generation straight Excellent daughter by
Goldwyn who has already bred 16000 kg Ex90
daughter. She sold for 7700 gns and sold to James
McNeil for his Cairnpat Herd based at Lochans,
Stranraer. Mr. McNeil purchased purchased a super
group of cattle and they also included the Gillette
Jordan Heifer Dunnerdale Jordan Sabrina 2nd at 5900
gns and Dunnerdale Sid Kay at 4000 gns. Another
making its way to Stranraer was Dunnerdale Talent
Sabrina 6th (GP84-2yr)(VG86-MS) purchased by
Robert Agnew, Kirkholm.
Purchasing for their much respected Carmarthen based
Feithy Herd were Messrs. ER & ME Jones who parted
with 5100 gns for the outstanding second calver
Dunnerdale Sahara Kit Kat (VG86-2yr & SP) who was
fresh with her second having given over 10800 kg as a
heifer. The only other at 5000 gns was Dunnerdale
Sahara Sabrina (VG85 2yr) who has 5 Excellent dams
and is due in early May with her second to Velthuis
Let It Snow. She was purchased by C & AJ
Woodhouse of Millom, Cumbria.
The very last lot in the sale was Dunnerdale Fever
Sabrina 3rd who was very fresh having calved at under
two; this was another great cow making heifer and sold
for 4700 gns to R.Kellett of Hexham, Northumberland.
Leading the prices of the older cows was Dunnerdale
Goldwyn Pretzel 2nd (LP60)(EX94-4E & SP), a sixth
calver back in-calf for September to Airintake, who
sold for 4200 gns to Thomas Stephenson of Ulverston,
Cumbria. The only other over 4000 was Dunnerdale
Toystory Sabrina 2nd (VG88-3yr & SP) a second
calver back incalf with her third to Lauthority for
September sold for 4100 to Bryce Sloan of
Auchinlech, Ayrshire.
This was a great sale of a wonderful herd of cows
which sold readily to a huge audience of keen and
active bidders. They gathered in great numbers no
doubt helped by the fact that Beeston Castle is so
easily accessible from every direction.

REPORT
GOLDEN ASHLYN FROM STERNDALE
LIGHTS UP BEESTON FOCUS MILK
AT 6300 GNS
The Western Holstein Club’s Monthly Focus Milk
Show and Sale of fresh calved cows and heifers
attracted an entry of 72 head which also included four
in-calf heifers and a dozen maidens for its February
event. Judge for the show was Blaise Tomlinson of the
Sandyford Herd based at Nanpantan, Leicestershire
and for his Champion he chose Bidlea Matson Darkie a
second calver by Autumn Ridge Matson from Ray
Brown and Partners, Holmes Chapel. In reserve was
Winton Toystory Cissie, a fresh heifer by Jenny-Lou
Marshl Toystory from Peter Waring of Beverley, East
Yorkshire.
A huge crowd was in attendance, no doubt helped by
the inclusion of the dispersal sale of the Dunnerdale
milking portion (see separate report) and which no
doubt helped to elevate the trade to a very good
average.
There were some high individual prices and the star of
the sale was Sterndale Golden Ashlyn (VG86-2yr)
from Bill Nadin of Earl Sterndale, Buxton, a second
calf daughter of Golden-Oaks St Alexander who had
calved four weeks and was sold giving 36.0 kg. She
was purchased by an undisclosed breeder in Northern
Ireland.
Three fresh heifers crashed through the £3k barrier.
First at this price was Bestfed Fever Robin 2nd ET, a
Crackholm Fever daughter bred from 12 generations of
VG/EX dams tracing back to the noted Glenridge
Citation Roxy (Ex90-4E). She was consigned by Paul
Findley of Marchwiel, Wrexham and sold to R & E
Butterfield for 3800 gns for their Ingleview Herd based
at Bentham, Lancashire. Next at 3500 gns was
Rusholme Jordan Frantoosh ET, a daughter of Gillette
Jordan bred from 10 generations of Very Good or
Excellent dams from the Quality Fran line. She was
consigned by Andrew Kippax of Garstang and sold to
P & A Mercer for their Sandringham Herd based at
Malpas, Cheshire. The third heifer over 3000 was
Enchanted End Story Ghost from Enchanted Holsteins
of Elswick, Preston. She too had a great pedigree being
bred from 8 generations of cows in the top two grades
as well as having two VG sisters. She sold for 3200
gns to Andrew and Alison Bunting of Newabbey
Holsteins, Dumfries. Not far behind was another from
the Sterndale stable; Sterndale Liqueur Brenda (VG852yr), a November calved heifer by the home bred
Shottle son, Sterndale Liqueur. She sold for 2900 gns
8
to JV & JE Allen, Tutbury, Burton-on-Trent for their
Leaventhorpe Herd.
A small group of in-calf heifers sold up to 1950 gns
twice for daughters of Toystory from the Harris family
of Hampshire and Carhall Golddust from the Kinsey’s
of Stoak, Chester. All the maiden heifers were from the
Chalkfarm Herd of Messrs. JF Temple & Son Ltd., of
Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk and sold up to 1300 gns
for a 14 month old Shottle daughter.
