RENDHAM SALE OF YOUNGSTOCK
Wednesday 20th November 2002

REPORT
A regular and most welcome visitor over many years to Borderway Mart, is the Strachan Family with Holsteins from their well know Rendham Herd, Suffolk.

This particular consignment consisted of an attractive selection of, predominately maiden heifers from 9 to 18 months old with one fresh heifer and 3 served heifers.

At 1400gns, equal top price of the whole day, was a much admired Kemview Venatas Vision heifer from the PI Model family. The successful purchasers were Messr Awde of Broadmeadows.

The maidens, topping at 1100gns for a really showy calf by a home bred Mandel son, from the Kemview Hilary family, were well grown, well bred and, appropriately, very well respected by the buyers, who comprised a perfect mixture of top pedigree and sound commercial dairy farmers.

The averages are indiciative of a very consistent, sensible trade.

A particular of the Rendham Sale was the professionalism of the leader, Kathrin Strachan, who has enjoyed many big time successes at the halter end of National show calves.
