4000gns top at Sedgemoor October sale
Trade at Greenslade Taylor Hunt’s October sale hit a high of 4000gns for Stowey Balisto Sky from M A Jeanes Farms. She was part of the second consignment to disperse the young stock from the Stowey herd. This 14-month old heifer has a brother at Cogent and is from the UFM Dubs Eroy family and joins the Perrins herd in Cornwall.

Fresh with her first in September she is classified VG86 and sold to the Hawken family, Cornwall.

A youngstock consignment from Bridgwater College’s Somerset herd created considerable interest and sold to 1250gns for Somerset Saratoga Romkje due next spring.
