She also has a PLI of +£232, the highest in the sale. This March calving heifer was the choice of Geoff Lewis of Lewis Pearson Ltd of St.Brides, Nr. Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire.

Two animals sold for 10000 gns each. The first was another from the Sterndale stable; Sterndale Ruby Tuesday ET is a Sep 07 daughter of Advent Red bred from six generations of Excellent cows, the grand dam being the famous former red and white grand champion at World Dairy Expo, Lavender Ruby Redrose EX96-2E.
