The 40 heifers sold very well at an average price of around 730 guinees.
Top price was a Slindon Posie's Ambionic heifer, who went to Chettle for
1000 g.
Fifteen lots sold for between 800 and 1000g.

Thanks kim
I was begining to think you had all died,what's happened to the good old
days where we used to get a full report ,how many GYs have gone to new
breeders who they were and where they farmed if we were realy lucky maybe a
picture or two as well .
When Nigel(MR CHAIRMAN) was over in GY late last yr at the breeders meeting
he spoke so enthusiasticaly and with such vision yet the web has gone dead
maybe all the work is going on behind the scenes and we're not allowed to
know.
For me the web has been a life line to the real world and enjoyed all sorts
of articles from farm profiles to top herd/cow producers, new
classifications etc.
Annual summarys were out last October are there any new herds showing them
selves how have the Pedro hfrs classified i'm well impressed with ours and
using as many Pedro sons as i can.Lets have some words of encouragement and
news cant all be bad i'm sure i'm not the only one missing this newsy life
line .
