Beaufort or Culverness

[Friesianfan]

I really enjoyed the sale and was on a bit of a high afterwards.enjoyed chatting with @farmertom and meeting @cattow and @Sid. Soon came to earth with a bump. On the way home I had a message saying my 82 year old father was in hospital awaiting surgery as he’d fallen head first out of a tractor cutting his head open and damaging his neck and shoulders! Then found one farming neighbour had a heart attack and was in hospital, another former farming neighbour had had a heart attack and died. My brother had split with his girlfriend.
Life’s ups and downs I guess

So what was there secret on getting such high butterfat? Don't think I have ever seen such a high average for black and whites.

Wish I knew. He fed maize, blend in wagon and chopped straw and cake in parlour

 

[Friesianfan]

Sorry to hear that hope your dad will soon be on the mend.

Sure he will. He’s a tough old boot

 

[cattow]

So when's the next outing @Friesianfan Shorne Culverness or Langley ?

The “modern friesian”..

If sales like that got more publicity with the yeilds and milk quality may be less breeders would crossbreed and would think about blending their Holstiens with the" Modern Friesian" !!
and help them stop mongerlizing their stock and lowering the value of them. I bet he would have had a very good milk price with that quality.

Any more prices from Culverness? Sounds like it was a difficult day. Those deep old cow families will breed on well.

 

[dairyrow]

Looks like our average was about £800. I oh thing that looks like they sold better was close to calving heiress and billing heifers. Any lots you want to know the price for. Cows came today they looked fine and very milky. Quite surprised we got them for that price tbh
