	BORDER & LAKELAND HOLSTEIN CLUB SHOW & SALE Wednesday 20th October 2004
REPORT

Champion - (l-r) Robb Surseth Barclays, Julie & Martin Gaitskell, & judge Paul Harrison

The largest entry of females for a long time was seen at the Border & Lakeland’s Show & Sale on Wednesday 20th October 2004.

As expected, virtually 100% clear out with 15 heifers selling over 1,000gns to a top of 1420gns. A wonderfully varied clientele of serious pedigree and commercial buyers attended, the net result being a sale that will have pleased sellers and buyers alike.

There were several very smart batches, not only from the regular local breeders but also from herds three hundred miles away. For example the 12 hour journey from the Mull of Kintyre & the Isle of Gigha was worth making for Matthew Ralston & Kenny Robison respectively.

The top price was realised by the Reserve Champion consigned by Nelson Barton “Barwood”, Kirkby Lonsdale. Barwood Leduc Greta, a recently fresh Leduc, sold for 1,420gns and enters the Petteril herd of Stephen & Anne Morley, Southwaite, Carlisle.

Reserve - David Black PAragon & Nelson Barton

H&G Mair, Townhead Farm, Mouswald claimed the second top priced heifer, Grangecroft Progress Joyce 94. Selling at 1,220gns this fresh heifer was consigned by HG Middleton & Son, Hull, North Humberside. Also going to Townhead Farm was Hebrides Park Nell. Consigned by Kenny Robison and sired by Juniper Park, she was knocked down for 1,200gns.

A recently fresh young cow by Eastland Figaro consigned by R&E Butterfield realised 1,100gns. In her second lactation, Ingleview Figaro Kay PI GP83 now enters the herd of RI Spedding, Stone Flatts, Carlisle.

The Champion, Boustead Millennium Freda was tapped forward by Mr Paul Harrison of the Chisleways Herd. Sired by Holmeden Millenium, this heifer enters the Errolston herd of B&V Davidson for 1,100gns.
