1 PEDIGREE AND COMMERCIAL DAIRY CATTLE FRESHLY CALVED COWS AND HEIFERS DAIRY DRY AND YOUNGSTOCK STOCKBULLS OF ALL BREEDS 12 TH JUNE AM HERD DISPERSAL 100 COWS YOUR DAIRY AUCTIONEER HUW EVANS The entire milking portion, dry cows and the Hereford bull. From M & MA Harries, Bryngolau, Eglwyswrw. JJ MORRIS Whitland Mart West Street, Whitland, SA34 0AE

2 CATALOGUE OF SALE TO COMMENCE AT 11.15AM M & MA HARRIES, BRYNGOLAU, EGLWYSWRW JJ Morris are pleased to present another opportunity to purchase top quality British Friesian cows at Whitland Mart from Martin and Monica Harries, Bryngolau who have dedicated much of their lives to milking and looking after generation after generation of wonderful cows. The cows are producing well on a low input system of grass and concentrates at milking time only on a hard holding. They are all good in legs and feet and cubicle housed through the winter. There are no official recordings for the animals but the cows are good productive types and the latest bulk tank figures show good reading: Milk Average: 8000kg Butterfat: 4.43% Protein: 3.42% scc: 129 Bacto: 27 These cows will suit any system and would undoubtedly increase production in more intensive units and as seen in the catalogue they are good long lasting cows that will serve well. JJ Morris would like to thank Mr and Mrs Harries for their instructions, and for their loyal custom to JJ through Cardigan Mart over many years and wish them well in all future ventures. Martin and Monica would like to extend their thanks to everyone who has helped at Bryngolau throughout their time and also in the preparations for the sale.
