Rare breed enthusiasts gathered at Devizes, Wilts, last weekend for the dispersal of Michael and Anne Jones Lawfar herd of British White cattle. Biggest volume purchaser on the day was the partnership of Jacobs & Johnson which took 14 head to establish a new herd in Somerset. Bidding went to 900gns when the top call came for Castleton Tina, a 1995-bred cow by a Whitecross sire with a heifer calf at foot. Buyer was Mr Morris, Holsworthy, Devon. (Dreweatt Neate)
