Yeah getting on grand wae them thanks, got both ai'd to Lochhead Tyson, another week will see if they have held. Fingers crossed. One came bulling naturally and used a pryid on the other. Got a couple of shows in three weeks so hopefully get them there.

Tyson is regarded as easy calved so good choice. God luck at the shows!

The dispersal sale of the famous Kinaston Blonde herd on behalf of the late Roy Kinnish is taking place on Saturday 21st October at Worcester Cattle Market.
Some fantastic cattle and very quiet. All animals are eligible for export. Definitely a sale not to be missed!
Link above is to the promotional video, catalogues out in due course.

I'd love a few blondes..(add your own punch line) but they'd have to be the right "type" they seem to be few and far between!

I'd love a few brunettes

Did you go to this sale? Did see on blonde page that the Web cam was going to be on for it. Missed watching it as I was scanning cows.

I see Whitepeak purchased two heifers. Going by word of mouth reports the sale was buzzing. Top of £5100 for a cow & calf. Cows averaged close to 3k and heifers closer to 2k.
Very well supported sale with a total clearance. Maybe Stuart @Whitepeak can give a better report than my summary.

Indeed we did, nice to see your watching our Facebook Got 2 yearling heifers for cheap compared to the rest of the sale. We ran several cow and calf lots to about 2000 and then they'd just take off and make towards 2500 which was beyond our budget unfortunately.
Not had chance to go through the catalogue and work out an average, but yes I think you'll be about right with your figures. They were all a good steady trade, top price of 5100 for a 6yr old cow and calf, then a younger cow and calf at 4700. Even the young bulls at the end of the sale met a good demand, think some buyers had gone specially for them.
Ring was absolutely packed and was standing room only (we'd a job to see into the ring from our seats!). As you'll see off the video on the British Blonde Facebook. And it was like that till the very end of the sale.
