Carnell Dispersal
Sale Date: 29th June 2022
The Carnell Pedigree Ayrshire herd, who celebrated a Century in the Ayrshire business back in 2015, was dispersed in front of a huge crowd of buyers, friend and neighbours who travelled from across the UK and Ireland to attend this historic event. Seldom has there been such quality Ayrshire cattle offered for sale on one day from one breeder with the majority all bred from deep pedigrees with Excellent and Very Good classified dams all with outstanding milking production bred from attractive and highly valued sires.
The sale topped at 4,400gns on two occasions for two special cows with the milking cows and heifers averaging over £2100. The young heifer calves attracted buyers from several of the dairy breeds and topped at 2,800gns on two occasions to average £1215. Almost 50% of the herd sold for or more than £2000 with buyers recorded from 23 counties across the UK and Ireland.
The first cow to sell for 4,400gns was Carnell Peg 202 who was purchased by the Ayrshire Society Breed President, Mr Bailey from Cheshire. This amazing uddered young cow was sired by Bruchag Starman and bred from an Excellent 94 dam sired by West Spittal Regiment Red who produced over 80 ton of milk in her lifetime. This popular young cow had three Excellent sisters all with massive production.
