Salers

The use of Aberdeen-Angus as a terminal sire is delivering easier-fleshing cattle, better carcases, and award-winning beef for a Powys farming family

The Walling family were instrumental in introducing Salers cattle to the UK and the breed is still key to the success of their family business

Luing bulls sold to a high of 14,000gns, with Salers bulls topping at 9,500gns

Limousin trade peaked at 12,000gns with 38 bulls sold to an average of £6,303 - down £750 on the year – with a clearance rate of 59%

SALERS were the breed of choice when Geoff and Olwen Lawrenson set up their suckler herd almost two decades ago and it has proved to be a wise decision.
