Sat 20 October 2018
The Virtual Dispersal of the Crackleybank Pedigree herds of British Blues and Limousins for Paul Walker were hotly contested by a strong company of buyers at Worcester.
Quality was the order of the day with all cattle shown in top form and a credit to the owner.

Her Pedigree bull calf 8 months old sold separately levelled at 2,200 gns to T J Griffiths Carmarthen, giving a combined total of 4,800gns.
British Blues were well in favour with Crackleybank Honey Girl ET a fifth calver back in calf to a Limousin, selling at 2,350gns also to E C Haste, Devon and her Limousin Cross bull calf 6 months old selling at 1,050gns to R J Wright, Somerton, Somerset – a combined figure of 3,400gns. A show heifer having won second at Royal Welsh Show 2016 was hotly contested Crackleybank Iron Candy and hit 3,200 gns and taken by K Morgan, Almeley, Hereford.
Limousins also held the limelight with Crackleybank Lisa a calved heifer and back in calf to a Limousin sold at 2,550gns to I Snape, Redditch, Worcestershire and her 10 month old daughter selling to 1,280gns to R J Gooding, Somerton, Somerset – a combined total 3,830gns.
