This sale of pedigree British Bazadaise cattle was held at Newark Livestock Market. | |
Martin Faulconbridge's bull, Willidon Iver, which sold to G Chapman of Lincolnshire | |
Unfortunately due to a management problem at Newark, the animal information regarding the animal entries for the sale was lost and no sale catalogue was produced despite regular attempted contact with Bazadaise Council Members in the weeks running up to the sale. Newark Livestock Market have since been extremely apologetic. Thank you members who entered cattle and to those who attended on the day, sorry to others who were left wondering whether or not the sale was going ahead. Below are some of the prices which were realised on the day: The top price bull Marsh Isaac sired by Yarlsber Frankie and bred by Sean Worrell.
