Calling all you Belgian Blue fanatics (myself included of course), anyone want to take a guess as to what the famous Wilodge Ulex will make at the major proportion sale to be held in May at Carlisle?
Having had such a tremendous show record, including wins at Beef Expo in 2004 right through to last year taking breed championships at the Royal, Royal Welsh and Great Yorkshire, no doubt breeders will be desperate to take the opportunity to secure some of his bloodlines in the sale, not to mention the big man himself. If he looks as good now, as he did all last summer, he certainly will cause a stir.
Also up for grabs will be the recently acquired Radieuse - the powerful 2002-born white cow purchased at Carlisle in 2006 for 4,500gns from Andrew Coppinger.
I'm waiting to hear from Christine Williams as to what else will be in the sale, so I will let you know - but bagsie I have first dibs on the sweet yearling heifer she had out last summer (if it's entered of course!).
