READY FOR SALE

Old  Stackyard Ned

(Level 1 Herd Health)

FOR THE SECOND YEAR OF SHOWING

(Since newly formed in 2016)

‘OLD STACKYARD BRITISH BLUES’

PRESENTED

for sale

at

Carlisle on 17th May 2019

2 Bulls and 7 Heifers

1 Bull (Old Stackyard Max) and 7 Females (of the Old Stackyard progeny) were sold with a top price of £4000. The mean age for the 8 animals was 12½ months, and the average price per head was £1900. Down £800 on last year. Reflecting, perhaps the uncertainty of Brexit and the after effects of last year’s drought, and pressure on capital.

£4000 has been divided between 2 Charities

1 Bull (Old Stackyard Ned) was brought to the ring unsold and will be kept until next spring (proceeds to be divided between 2 charities). 

The most pleasing part of the event was to take 9 animals to the sale (having only kept one animal from those born in 2017/2018 as herd replacement) all passing inspection, and meeting acquaintances, old and new.

For a Review of the foregoing sale entries see below under the heading "ACTION 2019" below

Evelyn and I built up a dairy herd with hard work and long hours.  We also had a small group of "Blues".  We managed to be successful only by hard work and much self sacrifice, with the business needs always coming first.  Sound management of the business as a whole was essential, and as I have always said my wife Evelyn was the "Financial Director"
