Dairy Cattle (66)
A ringside full of very keen buyers saw cows and heifers in milk average just short of £1600, in calf cows and heifers average £1420 and bulling and weaned heifers average £720. Top price of the day went to Davies, Glanawmor for a very powerfull yet neat commercial heifer at £2400. Best cow was also representing commercial quality this week with £2120 for a 7 gallon/day second calver from Jones, The Elms, Oswestry. Mr. Jones also sold a commercial heifer for £2300 and a pedigree heifer from the recently dispersed Constant herd, Constant Starr Joy, for £2100. A further five lots made £2000 or more including entries from the Gest, Penrikka, Caer and Llancourt herds. The monthly entry for dairy youngstock saw a reduction entry from Davies, Penrhiw, Llanddarog that saw in calf heifers reach £1600 and bulling heifers sell for up to £860. However not everything was 'bread and jam' as the display board in the salering was not working.
