AN elite heifer sale at last week's Causeway Classic show of Holsteins at Balmoral showground in Northern Ireland produced a top price of 20,000gns.
This was paid for a first choice heifer calf from Iain McLean, Bushmills, Co Antrim. This was a record price for an unborn animal sold in the UK and the buyer was David McAfee who owns Glamour Holsteins, Ballymoney, Co Antrim.
The calf, which is sired by Braedale Goldwyn, is bred from the world famous cow Oceania Ambrosia. Mr McAfee will be given the choice of three heifers, which will calve down in about three weeks' time.
The overall sale average was 4,500 guineas for 24 lots sold.
