@foxbox It would be nice to see you at the sale! Not seen you mentioned on here for a long time!
WB

I'm still about, thanks for the tag! I doubt I'll make it this year unfortunately, I'd be interested to know what prices are achieved though. Some pretty major changes due in our herd in the next few years so you never know...

Thank you, I look forward to seeing you there also @Wolds Beef , I should be easy to find with being Lot 1!!
Hopefully it will be a good sale. We are a bit down on numbers due to 1 or 2 further south going down with bTB and also the breed is historically seen as being more an upland breed, where in truth it has much to offer the lowland suckler farmer also, particularly with ease of calving and reduced labour requirement.
Further to this there is an ever growing waiting list for females so they don't tend to make it to sales as they sell directly off farm beforehand.

A Day to go! I hope all the cattle are washed, trimmed, there feet trimmed and ready to go! I have nothing there this time. Last night though, I had a cow started calving at about 10.00pm, I got up at 2.00am and looked through the crew fence to see a Lincoln Red calf taking its first drink, Mum was a little protective so I did not go near. Just going to check on it!!

English Premier Sale peaks at 7500gns

Trade at Saturday’s English Premier Sale, Newark, was strong across the board, with buyers out in force from across the UK and a 96% clearance of the 158 lots offered.

Auctioneer Paul Gentry said once again the sale had delivered strong results for vendors. “Well bred, well produced cattle of all breeds were in demand with buyers from across the UK in attendance to seek out new genetics for their herds. All vendors are to be congratulated on the turnout of cattle and the results speak for themselves.”

Top price of the day at 7500gns was paid for Simmental bull Heathbrow Governor from David and Lesley Sapsed, Hertfordshire. Governor, a son of homebred Heathbrow Ex Factor out of Hockenhull Girlie 22, herself a Blackford Harvester daughter sold having been unbeaten in the show ring last year and was the pick of the Lyle family for their Cambus and Viewforth herds, Leven, Fife.
