Charolais hits 30,000gns

As David Leggatt’s voice rings out, we’ve got a new top price for Charolais bulls.

Maerdy Andes from Esmor Evans’ string of cattle entered here, has just sold for 30,000gns to (if I caught it right over the speaker) Ian Thompson. This powerhouse of a bull, as described by David in bidding, is sired by Fairway Soprano and out of Maerdy Nosda.
