First to reach 20,000gns was Tunnelby Cymbellene shown by Miss Ann Thompson of Crewe, Cheshire. Her September 2007 born son of Hafodlas Abel and bred from Tunnelby Otteline a Ronick Cosmos sired daughter, caught the eye of many breeders today, and was finally knocked down to a joint partnership of David Harker for his Overthwaite Herd and Doug Edgar for his Shire Herd.

Also fetching 20,000gns was the event Intermediate and
Supreme bull Champion Ampertaine Commander shown by WJ & J McKay
of Co. Derry, Northern Ireland. Sired by Glenrock Ventura and out of
Ampertaine Annabella, one of the McKay’s noted show cows, Commander
was sold to join the Barrons herd for Willie Barron at Burnhope, Co.
Durham.
Top female of the show and sale was a 14 month old heifer shown by Millington
Grange Estate. Millington Decision, a Marron daughter and half sister
to the 10,000gn Millington Choice heifer had, earlier in the day, lifted
the Ladies Day championship. She sold to society president Roger Hazard
and his sons for their noted Mereside herd for 6,000gns.
