Lowther Dairy Sale 100921

On Friday Penrith & District Farmers’ Mart LLP held a dispersal sale of 100 in-milk & in-calf Holstein Friesian cows on behalf of Lowther Park Farms Limited, Townhead Farm, Askham, Penrith.

A wonderful sale was witnessed with demand being very strong from start to finish, a sale average of £1375 a head was achieved, for a majority show of November - January calvers with very few heifers on offer.

The sale topped at £1950 for a real "pick of the sale" freshly calved, second calver, giving 38.4ltr, selling to T & MD Beaty, Egremont.

Next up at £1900 was a second calver, calved in July, giving 40ltr, selling to Messrs EI & JL Metcalfe, Kiln Gate.

A very successful sale was had with the vendors going home highly delighted, more are being entered into our collective Dairy sale on Friday 12th November, which will include a special section for Dairy Shorthorns. Entries close on Friday 29th October.
