Friday 13th October 2006
For Messrs PA Arbuckle & Son, Lundie Castle, Dundee

The dispersal sale of 148 milk recorded Holsteins for PA Arbuckle & Sons, Lundie Castle, Dundee clearly indicated the demand for exceptional commercial dairy cattle. A strong emphasis had been concentrated towards breeding for good feet and legs and well attached and udders and certainly paid off in the sale ring with 43 animals at £1000 up to a top price of £1400.

The top price of £1400 was for an in-calf heifer sired by Cogent Conrad. She was sold to JJ & JD Graves, Priory Farm, Armathwaite, Carlisle.
