Entries have been drawn from a wide area for the forthcoming Limousin sale due to be held on 20th April at Newark Livestock Market. The sale organised by the East Midlands Cattle Breeders Club is for both pedigree and commercial breeders.

Commenting on the sale, the Breeders Club chairman Michael Fieldson says that they have been delighted by the interest, "This area enjoys an enviable reputation for producing top quality Limousin stock. In discussion with fellow breeders and Newark Livestock Market we believed that we could offer a strong regional sale. The level of support that we have received from breeders and allied trades has been very encouraging. At this point in time we have over 400 entries and also telephone enquires suggest that buyers are willing to travel from a wide area for the opportunity to bid for top beasts."

Entry forms are available from Paul Gentry at Newark Livestock Market telephone 01636 676741.

"There are some top lines included in this sale and we believe that the event will establish Newark as a strong market for pedigree breeders," concludes Michael.
