Brian Moorhouse, Bell Busk had the pick of the bunch with a superb home bred pedigree heifer giving 31kg reaching £2650 to a Mr Clarke of Hampsthwaite. 2nd Prize from Richard Close was another fine specimen with John Howard, Heslaker snapping that up for £2120. Robinson’s of Eldroth were once again making good headway with their HB heifer reaching a handy £2250.
Once again a good packet of cattle in the youngstock section with Messrs Whitaker of Laneshawbridge having a good show of Incalf and maiden heifers forward for sale with £1700 made of one of their March calvers. MGT Corner of Easingwold had the 1st Prize heifer and rightly so with it realising a dizzy £1860.
