Carmarthen Dairy -17/02/2010

Dairy Cattle (35)

A lower entry, and a slight drop in quality which did not seem to dampen the trade. Many weak or blind quartered animals set lower averages than could have been achieved. The lower end, even with faulted cows, sold very well with cows selling not lower than £900 and a three quartered heifer selling for £1120. Top price cow was a very smart commercial second calver from Powell, Gwarcwm that sold for £1680. But heifers sold to another exceptional trade up to £2250 and a further nine heifers over £1800. Top price went to Jones, The Elms who continued where he left off the previous week. A commercial heifer at £2250 and another £1900 topped the non recorded section. In the milk recorded section, Sevenoaks Beaufort Peggy sold for £2000.
