The same home also topped the market at £1553.83 (227.5p/kg) for a Limousin cross cow, purchased by Mr A Jarvis. This run of geld feeding cows averaged 168p/kg.

Young Black & White cows topped at £1277.76 (181.5p/kg) from Messrs Dent, Catterlen Hall, bought by Mr L Fell, this run averaged £999.19 (168p/kg).
