Following last night prize show, today saw the sale take place with the excellent quality on display receiving very strong interest from the ringside.

Reserve Champion was another Black Blue Steer from JC Walker & Son, which had stood second in its class to the champion and sold for £1500. Top price of the sale was Sheila Mason’s Female Champion, this 8 month Blue Heifer was much admired and she found her new in Derbyshire with Michael & Ellie Wynne for £3000. The Mason’s also sold a Blue Bullock earlier in the sale for £2000.  JC Walker & Son of Dunsop Bridge took second highest price on the day at £2400 when their 3rd prize British Blue Heifer caught the attention of J Bradley.
