South West Charolais Show & Sale at Holsworthy Market
‘COSMO LEADS THE WAY AT 5000gns’
Kivells were once again delighted to welcome the South West Charolais Association back to Holsworthy Market for their 24th Annual Spring Show and Sale.
The judge for the day was Mr Richard Bickle of Westcott Farm, Dartmoor, who was delighted to be judge, who himself had bought 2 young Charolais bulls from the Moelfre herd of Kevin Thomas last Autumn.
His pick of the day was ‘Balbithan Cosmo’ a 16 month old bull sired by Inverlochy Topsire and out of the Shoyswell Marlene cow, owned by Mr and Mrs White and shown by Jane Haw, himself having great style with good length and locomotion met a packed ring full of buyers from throughout the South and West with brisk bidding eventually sold for 5000gns to Messrs A S Brenton & Sons from St Keyne, Near Liskeard in Cornwall.
Reserve Champion also went to the Balbithan herd for ‘Balbithan Darcey’ a 15 month old bull, again sired by Inverlochy Topsire and out of the Balbithan Uba cow. Darcey was sold for 3550gns and is now joining the Morgan herd belonging to Messrs C M Howard & Sons from Devizes in Wiltshire. This making Jane Haw’s trip from Swanage in Dorset, on behalf of the Balbithan herd, well worth her while.
The next highest bid was 3500gns for ‘Lovistone Chancellor’ a 2 year old bull sired by Penhole Samaritan and out of the Moynton Syringa cow, exhibited by Mr Brian Nancekivell & Son from Merton, Okehampton, eventually sold to suckler producer Mr James Medland from Tavistock in Devon.
Heading the heifer section was ‘Beanhill Constance’ a 19 month old Maiden heifer sired by Coolnaslee Universe and out of Beanhill Victoria, exhibited by Messrs R J & B E Kimber from Chippenham, Wiltshire and selling for 1780gns to join the Warson herd of Messrs W P Power from Coryton, Okehampton in Devon.
Averages:
9 bulls £3101.11
4 Maiden Heifers £1412.25
