Another very buoyant trade in the dairy shed saw all qualities and stages of lactation sell exceptionally well.
Topping the day at £2140 was a very pretty heifer from Richard Lomas of Calow. Hot in pursuit was a second calver from John Allan at £2120. Andrew Mills of Ratcliffe on Wreake saw his heifer reach £2100.
Numerous other heifers were in that £1700 – £2000 bracket.
