Auctioneer's Report (Will Alexander): A quieter entry than anticipated as vendors made the most of the good weather. Buyers were keen to secure milkers however, with 14 men ringside for the 9 on offer. The ballot fell on Richard Robinson, Carnforth, with his 24day calved 32litre heifer setting the trade of the day at £2120, heading home with Tom Pollock, Ainstable, Carlisle. David Knowles back with 2 more milky heifers, both realising £2000. Other heifers looking well sold in the £1600-£1700 bracket. Mike Livesey, Lowick Bridge, showed a lovely 2nd calved Friesian Cow, she was yielding 6gal and was secured by Andrew Balmer at £2000. Next dairy sale in a fortnight, 8th July, with numbers required to meet rising demand. We also have customers looking for in-calf and bulling heifers – all enquiries to Will.
