Gisburn pedigree dairy show winner tops trade

ROSETTES for the championship and reserve both went to R.L. and M.S. Mares, Darwen, Lancashire, at the January pedigree dairy sale at Gisburn.

Show winner was a Fustead Emory Blitz daughter backed by two generations of VG breeding. It was knocked down to livestock agent Aubrey Greenhalgh for £2,600.

The reserve champion also with a solid VG pedigree by Comestar Outside sold to D. Walmsley, Worston, Lancashire, for £2,220.

Trade for the remaining heifers was slightly slower than of late but cows giving 30 litres or more were easy to sell with D.E. and M.A. Booth, Lancashire, leading the trade at £1,900 for a third calf cow by Silky Gibson giving 46kg.

Heifer calves made to £380 and in-calf heifers to £1,780.
