Border & Lakeland Holstein Club Show & Sale The November edition of the Border & Lakeland Club Show & Sale was a tremendous event for both sellers and buyers. From Lot 1 until the end, beautiful uddered animals graced the sale ring. Senior Pedigree Auctioneer Mr Edward Brown said “ …in my 20 or so years in the business this was one of the nicest collections of Holsteins ever sold through the club sale, thus reflecting the high average. No less than 10 animals sold to or above 2000gns with an overall average for cows and heifers at £1900.
The show was judged by Mr Robert Hunter from the famous Letterkenny Holstein herd and Clydevalley Jerseys. He placed three very strong classes, with his overall champion going to H. Hodgson, Wormanby Farm, Burgh-by-Sands, for Wormanby Benson Stella. This awesome uddered heifer with an EX91 Luke and a VG Skychief in her pedigree, she sold for 2300gns to Messrs Sanderson, Burtholme Farm, Lanercost, Brampton.
Reserve Champion went to Skirwith Hall Farms, Penrith for Stowbeck Samuelo Rosebowl. This was the first Regancrest Mr Samuelo daughter to sell in milk in the North, she sold for 2500gns to Messrs Marrs & Son, Broomhills, Orton Road, Carlisle. The Wormanby herd consigned six animals to the sale, and in all probably was the best selection ever sold from this top breeder. Top price of the day came from this exciting group, Wormanby Jurist Mandy a fresh second calver, going back to Elmcroft Matt Mandy EX91, All Britain Intermediate Cow 1988; she sold for 2800gns to Smallthwaite Farms, Smallthwaite House, Calthwaite, Penrith. Skirwith Hall Farms also had a tremendous consignment, they sold another Samuelo daughter to MJL Simpson & Son, Waingatehead Farm, Kirklinton, Carlisle for 2300gns. The trade for all types of dairy cattle continue to increase as demand still more than outweighs the supply. There has never been a better time in almost 20 years to sell dairy cattle, worth thinking about if you are going to sell! Averages Border & Lakeland Leading Prices
