A smashing entry forward in the Dairy Section at Leek on Tuesday saw a really buoyant trade for all qualities from start to finish.
Topping the day was regular vendor Andrew Mills of Ratcliffe on Wreake who saw his 27kg heifer reach £2190. Close behind at £2090 was Richard Lomas of Calow for his 26kg heifer.
Numerous heifers were in that £1700-£1800 bracket including a Norwegian Red X from M Trevor-Jones at £1750 and a Shorthorn X heifer from Messrs Howe at £1710.
The special entry of In-calf heifers from S & D Fearn sold extremely well to top at £1480 and average £1380.
Entries for the Pedigree Sale are coming in thick and fast with over 60 already entered. Good numbers in the commercial section also expected so there will be plenty of milk on offer.
