One of the first pieces of local knowledge I was told
when I moved up here from Cornwall was “The
Bulls
Calves are at their Dearest when the Lilac is out”.
Breed
For 3 springs this has rung true, but I don’t think
British Blue
it is 2016! Buyers are wanting their calves but at
Simmental
a price, in the face of a £3.00per kg finished
Limousin
product you cannot blame the beef man for
Blonde
wanting his calves cheaper. I have got to
Angus
recommend that all beef producers get some
Hereford
calves bought this year, these are the one that
Dairy
will bring you profit!! You’ve got to be on the
pitch to score some runs so do not worry it will go up again!

59 Continental Bulls
Top call £392 for A F Shallcross’s Blue, then we travel back to £338 for RG Wooleys Blue bull. Nearly all
the continental bulls with shape and bounce trade from £270-£330, any buyer looking at the top of
that price range was getting value for money compared with those 2 quality calves bought at £270.
Lims to £315 for Done & Hampson & Alex Williams, Simmentals to the same money for John Hopley.
64 Continental Heifers
Top call for JLR Ball of Betchton’s Blue heifer at £300, good heifers today trading at £240-260 for
Latham farming C&S Fitton. Top call for Simmentals £268 for HF Langley’s lovely sort Limousins to
£225 for FB Griffiths. The calves today were not just as strong as we are used to seeing at Beeston,
when strength came in we and the buyers to give the money, but they were not willing to give if for
young calves this week.
94 Native Bulls – WHERE ELSE CAN YOU FIND THE NUMBER
It’s a pleasure to report an uplift in trade in this section Angus to £260 for GE Oakley’s Lovely Calf but it
was the medium Angus that sold very well on and aroung £200 when they have been £170 in recent
weeks. A massive show of Hereford topped at £270 for P&D Smallwood’s strong calve with fresher
types with shape from £190-£230 for D & M Rutter the best from Shavington Farms £228. Channel
island x types from £100-£150.
69 Native Heifers
Hereford over £200 again for S Carden and DM Rutter both realising £205, £198 for Grasslands
Farming, Cholmondeston Hall. A lot of black Hereford heifers around £140 today look well bought. In
the angus line top call £175 for S Carden and PAJ & EH Davis. Channel island cross native heifers
trading from £65-£100
121 Dairy Bulls
The strong Holsteins at 5 weeks traded from £60-80, the rearing types at 3 weeks traded at exactly the
same price! Top call £138 for PA&JE Vaughan, £105 for Colin Wildman Brown Swiss to £112 for Done
and Hampson. The processing calves this week saw a significant uplift in price with very few under £30.

107 STORE CATTLE
Auctioneer: Jonathan Farrall
A few more cattle about and with the sun shining, the grass growing and a general upbeat atmosphere
around the ring, trade found a little extra ‘bite’.
Forward cattle were in short supply, only 3 steers over £1000, a pair of Hereford x from David PriceJones at £1105 and a good Simx from Messrs Littler at £1065. Some great young cattle about once
again, the best of Peter Siddorn’s steers selling to £840 at 13mo and a pen of young Limx from Barbara
Heyes Land Improvement at £520 apiece.
Best heifers were of the younger variety also, Adrian Piggott’s 13mo Suckler bred Charolais x to £815
and similar Charolais x from Peter Siddorn to £780. Forward heifers in very short supply, Hereford x to
£780 for Thomas & Fred Jones.
Dare I say that it looks like trade may be on the move, granted 6 weeks later than everyone had
anticipated, if you have stores to sell, now could be the time to get some tested and give us a try.

Topping at 154.0p or £1218
AS DEAR AS THEY’VE BEEN FOR MONTHS……… COWS AVERAGE 95.08PPK!!
Numbers down, mainly due to the fine weather where spring work and cattle turnout can eventually get
started!! And not only was it hot outside, but the cull cow ring was on fire as well!! First cow in the ring
set the trend, thinking she was at the May meet at Chester races, eventually stopping her jumping, she
came in the ring, half meated and selling for more than a £1, we were away. Countless black and whites
way over the 110ppk mark, with the best to 126ppk for P J Probins 5yo. Younger Holsteins to 130ppk
for local vendor P Tushingham, on the day anything with flesh selling to a real trade, and as previously
stated, genuinely as dear as they’ve been for months. Continentals readily over the 140ppk for old
sucklers with the best to 154ppk. Two bulls in today, both Angus, one quiet, one NOT selling for 124ppk
and 121ppk respectively. More cattle needed, with numbers drying up trade will increase, helped by the
exchange rate, they always say May is a good month to sell cows?? Please inform myself of future
entries.
Guaranteed payment on the day if you collect!! BACS payment available! We’re here to help whenever
we can, call Simon on 07815 188125.

A ‘PASSION FOR PEDIGREE’ STILL VERY MUCH IN EVIDENCE
AT BEESTON CASTLE AUCTION WITH A 10000 GNS TOP SELLER
AND AN AVERAGE OVER £3000!!
It took a little over three weeks, once the decision had been made to advertise, market, catalogue and
conduct a sale of cutting edge Holsteins from the highly respected Sahara and Wiltor Herds, the
property of Sheikha Noora Alkhalifa and Dave and Claire Jones of Church Farm, Wilcrick, Magor,
Monmouthshire.
The sale was promoted under the banner ‘Passion for Pedigree’ in the belief that even in these
turbulent and troubled times for all milk producers there was still a passion for pedigree breeding and
top quality individuals in the Holstein breed. Dave and Claire Jones who manage the Sahara cattle as
well as their own Wiltor Herd were fully aware that prices that may have been achieved would not
reach the heights of a couple years ago but with over 70 heifers carrying embryo pregnancies to calve
this year room had to be made somewhere at Church Farm. So a sale had to happen and Dave and
Claire put a wonderful catalogue together featuring show cows and calves as well as heifers at the
leading edge of genomic genetics. In fact never before had a catalogue been produced in the UK
featuring so many high genomic animals.
So good was the catalogue and pre-sale marketing that potential buyers gathered from all over the
country from Central Scotland down to the South Coast as well as Northern Ireland and the Republic of
Ireland. When the first animal came in, the ring was packed such was the interest in the sale which was
absolutely brilliant to and vindicated the decision, which many considered fairly risky, to hold the sale.
The choice was fantastic throughout and it was a show cow that led the way – Ortongrange Snowman
Alysia (VG89) (Max score) (EX-MS), a second calf daughter of Snowman who was All-Britain Junior
Heifer In-milk 2014 and who had two EX94 dams! She gave 10000 kg as a heifer and was giving almost
50 kg in her second having calved in early January. She was the first to be sold; bidding opened at 5000
gns with other bids flying in from all over and eventually the hammer was knocked down at 10000 gns
to Stephen Robinson of Crossgar, County Down, Northern Ireland for his Cluntagh Herd. A great start
to the sale. Her November born Doorman ET calf then came in and made 2400 gns to Ruth Harper of
Dearham, West Cumbria.
The next animal in was a fantastic calf with incredible show potential. This was Sahara Bradnick
Ambrosia with UK type Merit of +2.95 and a daughter of last year’s Royal Welsh Champion and
Reserve All Britain Junior Cow Sahara Atwood Ambrosia (Ex93-4yr). Again lots of bidding here with the
hammer being knocked down at 5500 gns to Llyr Lloyd of St. Clears, Carmarthenshire for their
Llangynin Herd.
But the sale wasn’t all about show animals, there was also a big proportion of the sale with leading
edge genomics and two of these such animals were near to the top of the price list. Selling at 5600 gns
to Hugh Neilson of the Lanarkshire based Overside Herd was Sahara Silver Fleur with a GPLI of +£541
the highest in the catalogue. She was an August 2015 daughter of Seagull-Bay Silver and out of Sahara
Oak Fleur (VG87-2yr). Her ET sister just a day younger with a GPLI of +£524 sold for 4600 gns to Carys
Jones of the Monmouthshire based Chequers Herd and her dam, Oak Fleur, sold for 3700 gns to an
undisclosed East Midlands buyer.
Selling at 5100 gns to Andrew Mackellar of Drointon Farms, Stafford was the young dry cow Sahara
Numero Uno Jasmine who gave 9013 kg at 4.54% as a heifer and was a month off calving to Cookie
Cutter Harper. Another milker that created much interest was the outstanding fresh heifer Sahara
Cruise Roza (VG87-2yr) a daughter of the much talked about Wiltor Cruise at Cogent, she calved in
February and was sold giving 34 kg to A & B Bargh of Skelton, Penrith for their Woodclose Herd.
This was a great sale and much thanks is given to all those who attended, those who bid even if they
didn’t buy and there was plenty of you, and those who actually did buy. You all made a big
contribution to the day and just to prove, that even in these awful times for all dairy farmers there is
still a passion for pedigree!

WYNDFORD HERD DOMINATES LEADING PRICES
AT BEESTON MONTH END SALE
TOP FIGURE OF £3500 FOR A VG88-3Yr SID
The April Month End Sale incorporating the Western Holstein Club’s Focus Milk Sale of Pedigree
Holsteins attracted an entry 99 fresh calved cows and heifers of which 17 were not forward on the
day. A good trade was experienced, particularly for the better individuals and only three cattle failed
to find new homes.
The top prices were all dominated by entries from the highly regarded Wyndford Herd, the property of
Wilfred Maddocks Ltd of Newport, Shropshire and managed by Ben Yates and were only for sale due
to a change in farming policy which is moving from all year round calving to Autumn calving.
The top seller was the outstanding Wyndford Sid August 26th (VG88-3yr), a daughter of Pine Tree Sid
and the 9th generation of VG/EX cows from the well known August family. This beautiful young cow
had given 8689 kg in her first lactation, had freshened with her second in the third week of March and
was giving 44.5kg a day. She sold for £3500 to Jason Booth of Stewardstown, Co Tyrone, Northern
Ireland for his Beechview Herd.
Not far behind selling at £2700 was Wyndford Artes Wendy, another (VG88-3yr) second calver from
the Maddocks family. This daughter of Go-Farm Artes is out of the Isle of Man bred Fingan Duplex
Wendy (LP80) (Ex94-5E & SP). She freshened in the third week of March too and was sold giving 43.2
kg to Alan Smith of Hinckley, Leicester for his Bumblebee Herd. Wyndford also led the heifer prices
with Wyndford Mincio Hall 37th (VG85-2yr) who has an (Ex94-2E) sister and an EX93-8E) dam. She sold
at £1720 to Sion and Audrey Davies of Carmarthen. From the same home an 8th generation Wyman
Heifer from the Melody sold for £1550 to M & JC Gould Ltd., of Bomere Heath, Shrewsbury.
Selling at £1650 was Leesemanor Asterix Charlene (VG86-2yr) from Wilf and Pam Lomas of Byley,
Middlewich and was part of the gradual dispersal of their herd. This daughter of Woodmarsh Asterix
was purchased by Peter Rutter of Saughall, Chester. A very fresh heifer by Zelgadis from the Amelia
family from Harold and Pat Crapper of Dronfield, Sheffield sold for £1550 to BG & MA Elkin of
Hilderstone, Stone.
AVERAGES:
40 Cows £1203.80; 39 Milking Heifers £1211.08.
HOLSTEIN BULLS TO 1900 GNS AT BEESTON
The Western Holstein Club’s Annual Spring Bull Show and Sale took place at Beeston Castle Auction in
conjunction with the Month End Sale. Just a small entry of 17 bulls were catalogued but unfortunately
6 were not forward, some being un able to get to the sale due to being blocked in by snow on the
Lancashire Hills!
The bulls that were there were of good quality and were judged by Keith Davies, formerly of the
Montgomery Herd. For his Champion he selected Aintree Sherwood from Richard Pilkington of Hope,
Wrexham for his son of Monument Impression bred from 10 generations of VG/EX dams of the well
known Sherry family. In reserve was Tregibby Brooklyn from Hefin Wilson of Cardigan for his
Windbrook son with 11 generations of two graded dams from the Romance/Roxy family.
However in the sale ring it was the Reserve Champion who claimed top honours selling for 1900 gns to
selling to C & R Owen of Talybont, Bangor, Gwynedd with the Champion selling for 1700 gns to RW
Newns & Son of Treuddyn, Mold, Flintshire. Also selling at 1700 gns was Woodmarsh Sentinel from M
& KG Gould Ltd of Bomere Heath, Shrewsbury for their Gillette Jordan son out of a sixth generation
Excellent line of cows from the Dunnerdale Sabrian family who has nine sisters classified in the top two
grades.
Of the 11 bulls forward, 8 were sold to average £1588.13.
PRODUCE REPORT
28 LOADS OF FARM PRODUCE
MONDAY 2th May 2016
Auctioneer: Alan Lane
A respectable entry for a Bank Holiday but, for the first time since anyone could remember, no loads of
big bale straw, confirming the apparent shortage at least in this area.
A large Bank Holiday crowd saw first quality round bale hay make up to £108 per tonne and first
quality small bale hay £3.20 per bale. With both local weighbridges closed, approximately half the
loads today were sold by the bale rather than per tonne. Good quality big bale hay made up to £24
per bale with second quality at £10 to £15 per bale, £50 to £68 per tonne. Ten loads of haylage sold
well enough between £30 and £48 per tonne, £11 to £20 per bale.
The shortage of straw generally was reflected in the prices achieved for two loads of small bale straw,
barley at £2.90 per bale and wheat at £1.20 per bale.
