Just had some pics in from the Blonde sale at Carlisle and looks like they had a good trading day. Setting a new breed record was Blackwater Ainsley from Essex breeder Ian Calderbank, which sold for 8500gns.
Ainsley is a son of Druk genesis and out of a Yogi bred mother. He now joins the father and son team of Peter and James Weightman of Peterlee, Northumberland.
The Blonde Babe champion of the event also took the leading price tag for the females at 6500gns. One of the youngest heifers in the sale, Penyghent Alison, came from north east breeders E Telfer and Son, Stocksfield. She sold to Northern Ireland breeder R J Mowbray of Co. Tyrone.
