Fieldson Alfy, a March 2005 son of Gunnerfleet Plunas and out of a Broadmeadows Cannon sired mother, was a certain eyecatcher he was a bull with length, good legs and outstanding conformation.

Michael and John commented that Alfy was the the best bull they had ever bred in the herd. He also lifted the pre-sale judging championship award and was also a member of the winning Carlisle Three Award. Alfy now goes to join the Netherhall herd based at Kirkby Lonsdale for Nether Hall Farm ltd, Mansergh.

Following at 13,000gns was Bailea Amazon shown by the judge Brian Jones and his son Matthew from Sennybridge, Brecon. Amazon is the first son of the imported bull Salomon to be sold by auction, and was out of a Martinet sired mother.
