Lancaster Livestock Auction: Dairy Cattle Tuesday 15th May

A smaller entry for May, however demand was high and an overall average of £1702.35 was achieved, the quality was superb this month and all vendors must be congratulated on the presentation of all stock. The weather was not favourable for a sale with many farmers detained in the field with drilling or silaging.

However the trade was very consistent from start to finish with a great overall average being achieved. The sale offers great quality milking cows and heifers which suit modern dairying, with width and strength and volumes of milk.

Leading the day’s trade was a lovely second calved cow from DJ & S Tomlinson who consigned a quality group of milking animals, Bilsrow Jareb Elite (GP83) who was awarded 2nd prize in the cow class calved on the 12th April and was yielding 43kg she was secured by Bradley’s Farms Ltd of Preeshall.

The Reserve Champion was Carldanton Fantasmic Mahgogany from A Grimshaw, this heifer tracing back to Scientfic Jubilant Rae ET (EX90), this lovely cow making heifer sold to Messrs Crosier for £1,950.
The Champion Rossette was awarded to Strickland Hill Farming Ltd, this super cow Witherslack Mincio Rose (VG85) was 1st prize in the cow class and went on to be Champion, milking well this cow was achieving a daily yield of 40.kg daily, she was secured for £1,850 for Bradley’s Farms.

It was great to have some commercial late entries on the day that sold superbly well and certainly more can be sold as many buyers seeking volumes of milk and a quality product with width and strength.
The judge for the day was Aubrey Greenhalgh who did a great professional job and had a wonderful selection of animals to select from. Congratulations to all prize winners a real credit to you all.
