A strong show of calves for the New Year Show and Sale with Joe Ogden of Cowling Judging the pre sale show. Through the ring Hartley’s of Bolton Abbey took the top price of £400 with a big british blue bull. Fred Houseman of Church Farm Enterprises chased close behind with another run of quality calves topping at £395. No storming record breakers this time but a strong trade right through the sale made for some healthy averages for the 123 on offer.
