RICHAVEN OPEN DAY AND ELITE SALE Feithy TAG Sale
Holstein UK held their annual open day in June for the winners of last year’s Premier Pedigree Herd Competition, Messrs E R and M E Jones and Sons’ Feithy herd, at Kidwelly, Carmarthenshire. Some 500 people attended, mostly from South Wales and this wonderful prizewinning herd was much admired. Some of the herd’s best animals were offered with a price tag attached and the top price paid was £5000 for the second calver Feithy Rachel Atwood VG-88, champion heifer in the South Wales Herd Competition last year. Buyers were R D H and M Bowen and she joins their Lan herd at Idole, Carmarthen.
The Lilac family is one of the oldest, most numerous and best families in the herd and Holstein UK president Randolph Miller and his son, Brian, gave £3500 for a very smart calf by Wabash- Way Explode out of an EX94 Goldwyn cow, whose dam had scored 93 points.
