Sally Wellock of Oakworth took honours once again at the Craven Dairy sale with a tremendous dairy heifer giving 31kg, which sold for £2100 to the Naylor family of Langbar. “There was very little between the Champion and the Reserve” commented Judge Shaun Sowray, and he wasn’t wrong as Wilson Stewart’s 40kg heifer also rocketed to £2100 selling to the same home with Mr Stewarts other 40kg heifer which was 3rd Prize and sold for £2,000.
