8 DAIRY CATTLE
Having decided to sell Dairy cattle on a weekly basis the trade goes from
strength to strength and is now the only weekly sale centre for Dairy cattle in
the region, which allows Vendors to sell their heifers as fresh as possible to
maximise value unlike other less regular sale centres.
Adrian Ractliffe consigned a superb fresh Pedigree heifer to top the sale at
£1,900 cubicle housed and giving 6 gallons she sold to D Meredith.
C B Powell consigned a smart Pedigree British Friesian heifer by Scadwell
Nectar 82, she made £1,480 to Mr J Cook. An MRI fresh heifer from the
same home sold to £1,100 with 2004 born Friesian cows running with the
Limousin bull to £760.
Entered for next Tuesday – 4 Fresh heifers & 12 Yearlings
