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.

The Wormanby herd consigned six animals to the sale, and in all probably was the best selection ever sold from this top breeder.
