North West Club Members Pass the Test at Beeston8th & 9th March 2008 Many North West Club members were amply rewarded with their forbearance
of the restrictions that cancelled the autumn sale last September and
taking advantage of the vector free period had their cattle ‘bluetongue
tested’ so that they could travel anywhere outside the surveillance
zones. Although in unfamiliar surroundings but under the guidance of
Society auctioneers Gwyn Williams and Jonathan Farrell and the usual
Frank
R Marshall staff the following North West Club members were delighted
with the packed rings of prospective buyers and managed to move their
quality cattle on to new homes.
The next highest price for the North West was paid for Graham and Matthew Jones’s Bringlee Banjo. This 24 months old son of Immense De Beauraing out of Bringlee Viv had originally been bought as a calf at the foot of his dam Bringlee Viv. During his legislation curtailed show career in 2007 he had won the Male Championship at the Royal Welsh Show. Spirited bidding from the off saw him finally knocked down at 5,400gns. Not having reached their valuation their first homebred bull 19 months old Graymar Bright Star, by Three Ways Superstar out of Paulern Vala, was withdrawn from the ring at 3,100gns.
Next amongst the higher prices came Mark
and Elaine Hartley’s
Pendle Bobby. This 23 months old son by their herd sire Blue Stone Union
Jack out of homebred Pendle Tulip attracted keen bidding before the hammer
fell at 5,100gns. Mark and Elaine also sold Pendle Bannister another
23 months old son of Union Jack this time out of Bannister Tatum for
2,500gns.
Graham Brindley sold Bringlee Bonzo an
18 months old son of Cajoleur De Rettigny out of Bringlee Una for 3,100gns;
Bringlee Calvin, at the foot of his recipient mother, a 4 months old
son of Colibri Du Coin out of the Birch family’s show heifer
Boomer Armani sold for 2,250gns; Bringlee Belle a 22 months old daughter
of Immense De Beauraing out of Bringlee Ozette for 2,000gns. Graham
also sold two recipient cows carrying identically bred embryos, Bringlee
Tandy x Gitan Du P’Tit Mayeur,
for 2,000gns each with both due to calve in late April.
Jim Barber sold in
calf cow, Astbury Sabrina, an Ingenu De Ronvaux daughter out of Astbury
Lily for 2000gns; Knockagh Upstart an in calf cow by Osborne Van Terbeck
out of Knockagh Rhonda for 1,600gns. He also sold Astbury Corrine a 12
months old Three Ways Superstar daughter out of Astbury Wendy for 1,800gns;
Astbury Clippy, a 15 months old Patriarche Et Charlevaux daughter out
of Doucer D’Izier for 1,620gns.

ring at 2,800gns not having reached the valuation he places her. Sabrina,
Rhonda and Walnut are due to calve to Immense De Beauraing in April.
