A good trade for the quality forward saw the best commercial milkers to £1920 for a fresh heifer giving 29kg from the Broadley family of New Haven. Close behind at £1900 was another heifer from Messrs Bennett.

Cows topped at £1900 for a second calver from the Gregory family of Drointon.

The special entry of In-calf heifers and youngstock from the Sigley family of Consall topped at £1960 for an Haste daughter due in September with others to £1880 and £1800. Bulling heifers topped at £910.

Next week we have the Herd Dispersal on behalf of the Bentely family of Marsh Gibbon, Bicester. True Holstein Friesians with a summer calving bias so plenty of fresh milk.
