There was a great turnout of breeders for the postponed British Blue Society show which was linked to the Border British Blue Club calf show and the sale of cattle from the Bringlee herd.
Male and female champions by Norbreck sires:
Ridge Dean Dynamo - Supreme Champion and sold for 9,000gns
The limelight was stolen by Ridge Dean Dynamo ET, an Empire D'Ochain son out of Ridge Dean Jessie. He was Supreme Champion on the day and later sold for 9,000gns to
NG Beveridge of Tow Law, Co.Durham.
The second 9,000gn and equal top price also came from the Ridge Dean herd of Michele Wilde and was also an Empire D'Ochain son - Ridge Dean Delta was an outstanding modern bull showing tremendous growth and style, selling to Cumbrian enthusiast SG Benson of Pennington, Ulverston.
Woodview D Best ET by Empire D'Ochain 1st and sold for 7,800gns
Impressing Philip Halhead was another Empire D'Ochain son from Andrew Craig - Woodview D Best ET. This stylish well built bull stood first in his class and also impressed Richard Carter from the Twyning Ash herd. He took the bull home for 7,800gns.
