The British Blonde Cattle Society's Spring Show & Sale held for the first time at Worcester recorded a resounding success with a 90% clearance and a top price of 3600gns.
Top price went to the male and overall champion Hackleton Achiever, a Hadley Hank son whose EBV included him in the top 10% of the breed from Hackleton Farms' herd at Northampton. He levelled at 3600gns, selling to H J and B J Read and Sons, Bromyard, Herefordshire.
Hackleton Farms had a successful day with a younger bull Hackleton Blenheim having won first in his class levelling at 3500gns to A T Turner, Hahon, Derby.
Local breeder Roy Kinnish enjoyed a close and keen following topping his consignment for a first prize winner Kinaston Berkley by the noted Haydens Platinum at 2600gns to A Faulconbridge and Son, Coventry, Warwickshire.
David Knight's Doncombe herd was again very much to the fore both in the prizes and consistent demand. He topped his entry with Doncombe Bugati, having won second prize and peaking at 2550gns to Parker and Bird, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire.
Females were also hotly contested peaking at 1950gns for Withybrook Sweetheart, a seven year old cow with bull calf at foot from Hackleton Farms going to Phillips of Bockleton, Tenbury Wells, Worcester.
