| Report |
The August Pedigree All Breeds Dairy show and sale on Wednesday 20th August 2008 comprised a great variety of Holstein, Jersey and Ayrshire young cows and heifers.
An understandable caution among the buyers, owing to the weather and feed cost in particular meant that the trade was not quite as brisk as the last couple of club sales. Having said every animal was sold, with vendors being sensible with their expectations.
The very best animals of all three breeds sold extremely well, resulting in sixteen making over £2000

Top price of the day was the 2,800gns “Morwick Gwen 10”, a 2year old fresh heifer from Messer Howie’s noted herd. She was sired by the homebred Rubens son from Morwick Sand Queen, and now joins the herd of Bailey Farms Ltd, Crook-O-Lune, Howgill, Kendall.

| Champion Holstein (pictured) – Gemma from sponsors paragon, Paul Harrison and daughter with Joanna Harrison and the Champion Chishillways Lausano Irene 6 GP84 |
In the Holstein section there were half a dozen heifers at 2200gns or more, and these were fairly spread from six different breeders. Top of the pile, at 2350gns was a typically smart, good bodied milky heifer from Messers Mitchell of Drumdeel who now joins the herd of JT Crowther & Son, West Trailtrow, Lockerbie.
 |
| Champion Jersey (pictured) – Alison Hunter and Willie Taylor (judge) with Clydevalley Sambo Gail VG85 |
Amongst the Jerseys were two 2000gn animals, both from Messrs Hunters well respected Clydevalley herd. One was a glorius uddered second calf daughter of Lester Sambo, from the Leaf family that excels in production, components and longevity joining Messrs Watson & Son, Moorhouse Farm, Wigton. The other was very fresh heifer by Family Hill Ringmaster, and from the Candarel family, who now joins the herd of TA Jackson, Guillyhill, Holywood, Dumfries.
