I've just printed off the catalogue for some evening reading, not that I'll be able to make it on the day

I've just had a look at the catalogue and it could be a long morning with approx 67 dexters entered, this includes a lot of steers and some un reg dexter cows and calves. It will be interesting to see if the steers make good money again.

I have just had a quick look at the catalogue, and am concerned to see the animals that we withdrew are still entered for sale. This includes 2 Knightsway Paddy bulls - these were actually entered as steers, there is not a testicle between them!

So many apologies for any confusion this may have caused. We have not got any stock at all going to York.

Wishing all sellers and buyers a very successful sale. Thankfully the rain has come and grass is growing so all should be well.

Best Wishes

Lisa Bell (Cattle entered as P and L Bell in the catalogue)

hello all, the catologue has put no 25 and 32 as born 2012 , this should be 2010, no 32 has been entered after the bulls, so she will follow the heifers. The bull is red, polled,non-short by llan-y-coed-hazard. with his brother being retained, no 7 lucy now has bull calf at foot by blaen-y-mor jet,who has great temprament and perfect teats. cant keep em all c u all soon jean

York really are getting useless at cataloguing - they told me twice that the Autumn sale results would be going up on the website 'very soon'.

[Rob R]

It will be interesting to see if the steers make good money again.

Well there are only ten entered this time, by my reckoning, and with spring grass I'd expect them to be even higher than the autumn one.
