Another strong Borderway dairy sale

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Champion Nethervalley Rotate Jed Darlene VG85 from Robbie Scott's highly reflected stock crowned another good day, not just for him and the buyer but for the entire consignment of 130 milking heifer and young cows and the Glenconner youngstock dispersal at Borderway Mart, Carlisle.

 

Champion 160708.JPGDarlene, by Jed from a VG88 Rubens daughter of Kepculloch, attracted much serious interest from breeders. So did all the better heifers in the sale, especially the £3000 reserve champion from the Hodgson family's Wormanby herd.

 

As with Champion, this smart two year old fresh heifer carried a classy pedigree, being from the quality Sher Canadian family. She now joins Messrs Sanderson's herd near Brampton. 

Some 40% of the sale made between £2000 and £3750 with an overall average of £1930, which although down on last month's sale was an excellent result for a much larger entry.

 

Demand was also strong in the heifers, of which a group from first time consigner Mr Mitchell from Mitchell (Drumdreel) Ltd, Cupar, Fife, averaged a worthy £1931 with a top of 2700gns with others at 2600 and 2500gns.

 

Following the club consignment was the Montgomerie family's highly regarded Glenconner youngstock dispersal of 73 heifers, from recently served down to 5 month old calves. These sold well with five over 2100gns, and an overall average of £1150.

 

The top price at 2800gns was paid by Messrs Stewart, Willoxton, Ayrshire and secured a Sandyvalley Onyx sired heifer from the great old established Bonny Betty family, with dams by Mtoto, Integrity, Prelude and Midnight she traces back to the original Stonelaw Friesian bred cow.
