Borderway Annual Autumn Suckled Calf Show and Sale
23rd September 2017
The annual autumn suckled calf show and sale at Carlisle was held on Saturday 23rd September and attracted a catalogue entry of 756 head. This event was very kindly sponsored by Capontree Vets, David Allen (accountants), Sure Calf (Zoetis) and Border Cars. The pre-sale judging was ably carried out by renowned showman and cattle finisher Mr W Timm of Barlow.
The overall championship rosette went to a truly outstanding Galloway cross heifer consigned by Messrs Telfer & Claxton of Newton High House, Stocksfield. She was sired by the registered Galloway bull Glenkiln Dynamite and was out of a pure Limousin cow by Rainbow Simon. This stylish heifer is sure to feature in the forthcoming autumn/winter shows and after spirited bidding she was sold for the days top price of £3500 to the judge Mr Timm.
