Ayrshires and Lambs at the Royal Winter Fair

* Agriculture and Forestry [to Oct 2003]
Two entries consigned by Island Ayrshire breeders commanded a tidy price at the Top Genetic Ayrshire Sale at the Royal Winter Fair.

A Senior calf, FOREVER SCHOON PRINCESS ET consigned by Forever Schoon Farms of Vernon Bridge brought $4,800 from a breeder in New York, while a Junior calf BLACKADDER MADYSON fetched an equal sum for George L. Boswall & Sons, Frenchfort. This calf got a new home in Quebec.
