A superb show of Young Bulls saw 26 entries in the British Blue class which went on to supply an outstanding Supreme Champion in a 14 month bull from Mesrs JH&SM Mason of Keasden Head bought by show judge Adrian Stansfield. Mr Stansfield also added the Reserve Champion to an extensive list of high quality purchases, an impressive 11 month old British Blue bull consigned by Mesr JC Walker&Son of Dunsop Bridge.

Exhibitors and vendors alike put together an excellent entry of top quality bulls which saw 21 buyers at the ringside and a record average of £1021.60 for all breeds. See photos from the day in the Flickr Gallery and chief prices below.
