Lancaster Monthly Dairy SaleLancaster Monthly Dairy SaleLancaster Monthly Dairy SaleLancaster Monthly Dairy Sale Stardale take Champion and Reserve at December Sale

The final sale of dairy cattle for 2014 saw a nice entry of cows and heifers forward. Judging this month was conducted by regular sale supporter Mark Hewitt

of Cockerham. A good show of heifers were put before the judge who awarded both the Champion and Reserve Rosette to James Burrow of the Stardale

herd.

In the ring, trade was very mixed with the best of heifers on offer regularly over £2000. The Champion, Lot 17, Stardale Wyman Vaakje 6, bred form three generations of VG and EX cows went on to sell for £2300 to the judge. The reserve, Lot 16, Stardale Stellation Vaakje 2, a fantastically well-bred heifer from nine generations of EX Cows and supported by numerous lactations exceeding 10,000litres saw frantic bidding, before realising a final bid, and top price of the day, of £2650, again selling to the judge.

Trade was, as expected, slightly easier for all classes, with straight milky heifers generally around the £1500 mark. Buyers were looking for milk today with plainer sorts and those yielding less hard to place. Only two cows forward sold to £1550 for a second calver from AR & J Whitlow, Preesall. In total 8 heifers sold in excess of £2000 with an overall average of £1560.

One bull forward from J Burrow & Son, Stardale Arnside, sold for a final call of £1000 to Messers Nelson, Milnthorpe.
