Valleyrun making £640. Her pen mates sold similarly all going into the

the vendors for supporting the sale.
Leek August Sale I 15th August 2023
A mammoth entry of Milkers for the August Pedigree Sale sold on a solid trade despite the
continued disappointment in relation to milk price.
A number of vendors produced some real quality runs of cows and heifers giving purchasers an abundance of choice to get their
teeth into.
Some quality entries of Shorthorns however really stole the limelight. A superb heifer by Bushmills Jazz from Martin Tidmarsh had
created a real buzz of interest prior to sale. This was rewarded with some strong bidding the heifer eventually being secured by the
Thomasson family of Norbury at £2300. They also went on to take another very pretty heifer Burbrook Pure Class Meg from Richard
Harper of Burland, Nantwich at £2200.
