The 23rd Black & White Sale held at Borderway, Carlisle (5th December) attracted one of the largest crowds ever seen at the event. Europe’s most prestigious dairy cattle sale featured bidders from across the UK, Ireland, mainland Europe and North America, as purchasers were offered the very best dairy genetics from nine counties.
Top price at the sale went to Shanael Minister Golden, consigned by the Miller family, Shanael Holsteins, Evesham. Golden sold for 10,000gns to Peter Prior, Designer Holsteins, Nortons, Radley Green, Essex. This outstanding 10 month old calf was also awarded the best turned out animal in the sale parade the previous evening by event judge Bruce Jobson. Born in February 2009, she is sired by Mr Minister from a VG89 Picston Shottle dam and sold with AI interest from several leading genetic companies.
Second top price went to Willsbro Howie Lila Z, consigned by Willsbro Holsteins, Cornwall. A Kerndtway Howie granddaughter out of the All Canadian Lylehaven Lila Z EX94, she sold for 9,000gns and joins the herd of B. Mckiken, Ernespie, Castle Douglas. This heifer has created interest from all over Europe and sold with over £7,000 in embryo and bull contracts.
The famous Overside herd owned by the Neilson family, Lanarkshire, took third place in the price leader board at 8000gns with Overside Goldwyn A Amanda. This fancy Braedale Goldwyn daughter is descended from the world renowned DRA August family. Her nearest seven dams are all scored Excellent and this 10 month old stylish heifer was purchased by K&M Jamieson, Woodhead, Annan.
The hottest Picston Shottle daughter in the sale was a member of the famous Marie family from the Denmire herd, owned by the Dennison family, Cumbria. Her dam is Denmire Gibson Marie 22 EX91, a former Royal Welsh show Champion; her next four dams are scored Excellent 94 with all over 100 tonnes of lifetime production. She now joins the Ballycrochan herd of Aubrey Patterson, Bangor, Co. Down for 7,500gns.
The Denmire herd continued an impressive sale run with a very classy Braedale Goldwyn daughter descended from nine consecutive Excellent scored dams and dates back to the “Queen of the Breed” Glenridge Citation Roxy EX97. This beautiful young calf now joins the herd of C.S.A Brassington & Son, Shorpshire, for 6,500gns.
Top price heifer calf from mainland Europe went to Markwell-CBS Advent Reflection-Red consigned by Karl Rutten, Belgium. She was sired by KHW Kite Advent-Red from the first ever Red member of the Raven family to classify Excellent. She sold for 6,500gns to the Miller family, Shanael Holsteins, Evesham.
Also selling for 6,500gns was Skye Hot Jodie RC consigned by Willy & Jo Templeton, Ayrshire. Jodie is sired by Dudoc Mr Burns, and is a grand-daughter of Fradon Rudolph Jodie EX, one of hottest Red bloodlines in North America. She sold with bull contracts to Semex and Cogent and was purchased by a syndicate of breeders from Ayrshire, Messrs Bryson, DG Morgan & AD Hughes and J Craig.
The first ever vehicle registration number plate offered at the event sold for 1,100gns to Colin Laird, Blythbridge Farms, Edinburgh. Registration number, “B19 MLK” (BIG MILK) featured as the first lot of the day and helped further create the unique atmosphere at Borderway according to Head Pedigree Auctioneer Glyn Lucas.
“We had the biggest ever crowd at the event and the atmosphere was sensational throughout the day. However, I’d like to congratulate all the consignors on offering cattle descended from many of the world’s greatest cow families and helping to further maintain the event’s reputation as Europe’s premier dairy cattle sale,” he said.

WORLD FIRST PRODUCES 20,000GNS BID AT BORDERWAY
The Borderway Black and White Sale (Saturday 29th November 2008) hosted at the Borderway sale Centre, Carlisle, attracted the very best of UK pedigree dairy genetics and resulted in a top price of 20,000gns and an overall sale average of over £5,000.
Braedale Goldwyn and Picston Shottle sired many of the stars that made this sale such an immense success and resulted in the highest Black and White sale average in the past 22 years. The sale included a world first opportunity to purchase a first choice animal from two entire herd offerings. The average for all lots sold including embryos, first choice females, Holstein and Jerseys was £5,029.
Top price was 20,000gns paid for the first choice of the entire Overside Holstein herd of Hugh Neilson, Strathaven, Lanarkshire. The last bidder was Alan and Christine Watson from the Lillyhall Herd, Cockermouth, Cumbria. The successful bidders have two weeks to make their considered choice from this world renowned herd.
Another herd with a first choice offering was the famous Potterswalls Jersey Herd, owned by the Fleming family. The successful bidders have the option of any female from the entire group of 2008 born calves. Winning the bidding on this exciting 5,000gns lot was Michael Booth, Co. Laois, Rep. of Ireland.
Denmire Shottle Marie 80, bred by the Dennison family, Ulverston, Cumbria, sold for 19,000gns to Colin Dent, Bridgend Holsteins, Penrith. The first three females in this pedigree are all Excellent 94 scored dams and each animal has produced over 100 tonnes of milk in their lifetime.
The famous Lylehaven Lila Z EX 91 had a beautiful grand daughter sired by Bolton from a VG 87 Two-Year-Old daughter of Picston Shottle. This June born calf attracted enormous interest from around the world and sold with numerous embryo and bull contracts. She was consigned by Andrew Davies, Abertegan Farm, Llanybydder and now joins the breeding establishment of Andrew Bunting, New Abbey, Dumfries, for 18,000gns.
Another headliner that attracted the attention of bidders was Nethervale Goldwyn Tabby. This animal was described by auctioneer Glyn Lucas as a heifer that “flirts with perfection”. Her dam was the former All Canadian Veazland-R Bstar Tabby EX. This lot was consigned by W. Scott & Co, Netherhall Farm, Largs, and was purchased for 13,000gns by Jim Currie, Lanark, Drumchapel Estate, Brechin, and Usan Estate, Montrose.
All Red Holstein animals attracted huge interest with a top price of 11,000 paid for an Advent Red calf from Scientific Mahogany Red EX, a sister to the famous Madison show winner, Scientific Debutante Rae. This lot was consigned by Andrew Davies, Abertegan Farm, Llanybydder, and purchased by Willy Templeton, Syke.
Carhall Goldwyn Beth and Feizor Shottle L Melody both sold for 10,000gns. Both calves are bred from top UK show animals and were purchased by the Beth Syndicate and Wilsbro Farms, respectively.
The sale mangers would like to express their sincere thanks to everyone who helped make this sale such a success, and would like to wish all the purchasers much success in the future with their animals.
