The highly anticipated Perfection Sale of world-class pedigree dairy cattle at Shrewsbury Market today (21 April), saw bidding peak at 20,500gns.
 
A packed ringside of buyers was treated to breed spectacle as more than 90 animals strutted down a catwalk to special effects, with flashing lights and a smoke machine.
 
The event was the brainchild of young breeders Richard Bostock, James Doherty and Tom Lomas, who said the sale would be something “never seen before” in the UK and they didn’t disappoint.
Commenting on the sale auctioneer Johnny Dymond said: “It was a fantastic sale. [There was] a great turnout and great atmosphere and it was a real priviledge to conduct a sale with such fantastic support from breeders all over the UK.”
 
Sale leader at 21,500gns was Tynevalley Rubi A Bambi (Lot 48a) from C&R Baty and family, Wynnstay, Cheshire. This January 2018-born Mr Rubi Agronaut heifer boasts a massive PLI of £737 – fifth highest in the world and the second highest ever to sell. Her dam is Tynevalley Supershot Bambi who sold for €23,000 in the German Masters sale. Buyer was Messrs Robertson, Ashlea Farm, Bristol.
Selling for 17,000gns (Lot 1) was the first lot into the ring; Riverdane Aikman Ghost Red VG89 (3yr)) from Mark Nutsford, Cheshire.
