The Charolais breed has attracted 166 bulls and fourteen females, plus one calf.

At the same sale last year, 89 Simmental bulls sold to average £6,835 and topped at 30,000gns for Denzies Lancelot from Michael and John Barlow, Lancs.

Charolais bulls (101) produced the lead average and set a new record of £8,449, which was up £1,328 on the 2021 sale.

The sale peaked at 24,000gns for Harestone Ronaldinho, from Neil and Stuart Barlcay.
