Craven Dairy Auction (22 head)

 A wide variety of Dairy Cattle today with a solid trade throughout for all sections most notably

was the run of Incalf heifers which were a good trade for the type of goods. Newly Calven cattle

were slow to start in places with the majority of cattle taking time to get to their deserved price.

Brian Moorhouse found the big bidders with his Newly Calven Home Bred Heifer from a EX92

Dam from the Scilla family  and by the popular Regancrest Mr Sam, giving 34kg and just 14 days

calved she eventually realised the days top price of £2,500 and is on its way to the Kayley family

of Halton West. Other noted prices came from the reserve champion from the Robinson Family

of Eldroth and Jeremy Taylor of Broughton making £2080 and £2000 respectively.
