Important
complete dispersal of the
DUNSLEYBAY, CROSSBUTTS & HEARTBEAT
Pedigree Holstein Herds
Friday 7th May 2004 |
| |
The “Dunsleybay”, “Crossbutts” and “Heartbeat” herds
belonging to John Richardson and John Morley were dispersed in Borderway
Mart, Carlisle on Friday 7th May.
Comprising a rich variety of Pedigree and PI Holsteins of all ages
this joint sale attracted an equally varied and serious crowd of
leading Pedigree and Commercial breeders from all over mainland UK
and Northern Ireland.
Seven animals made over 2,000gns to a top of 2,800gns for a most
stylish heifer calf by Stormatic from the Dellia family and her full
ET sister making 2,500gns. These calves now respectively join the “Cophill” herd
of KJ Price, Lower Hangar Farm, Broadhembury, Hointon, Devon and
the “Sperrin” herd of T Johnson, 24 Knockadoo Road, Cookstown,
Co Tyrone, Northern Ireland.
The top priced cow, at 2,600gns was “Alandrew Istar Doll ET
VG86 (2yr)” from the famous Glenridge/ Crudwell family and
sold in calf for September to Canyon Breeze Allen VG. She now joins
the noted “Ingleview” herd of the Butterfield family
from Lancaster. Her five ET heifer calves by Miley Gilbert ET VG
sold to 1,500gns, grossing 6,100gns for the flush!
All the well proven North American lines drew a deserved premium
with two nine month old Outside sisters from a VG87 Astre daughter
of the noted Roybrook W Honey EX95 selling for 2,100gns and 2,000gns
to C Wood of Dale House Barn, Tewitfield, Carnforth, Lancaster.
A strong contingent of more commercially orientated buyers ensured
that shorter pedigreed, but decent honest cattle made very sensible
prices.
