Champion

The one or two consignors who were not forward will have missed out on an extremely buoyant trade because buyers were astute and respectful of the young cows and heifers present.

The average of over 1050 gns with a 100% clear out speaks for itself particularly when one considers Milk Quota was trading at 27.5p per litre that morning at H & H Bowe Ltd.

Reserve Champion

Top price of 2000 gns was for a 2nd calved cow by Duncan Progress from the Horizon Helene family, consigned by Allan and Christine Watson who had recently dispersed their milking portion. The lucky purchaser was Gordon Dent for his noted Greengill Herd.

Another heifer with an awesome pedigree was Logan Sky Marq I from Brian Yates, East Logan which was sold fresh for 1800 gns to Mr Henderson, East Bowhill, Annan who has recently been investing is some very classy pedigree animals.

At 1750 gns was the very worthy Champion heifer by Haldrey Leadership and consigned like the Helene cow by Allan and Christine Watson, she now joins Brian and Val Davidson’s Errolston Herd at Gretna.
