A Limousin heifer in central England recently sold for $358,000, a world record for the breed and more than double the British and European records.
Wilodge Poshspice, a November 2019 embryo heifer, is bred out of bull Millbrook Gingerspice, who won supreme champion three times in a row at Northern Ireland’s prestigious Belmoral Show. The heifer was sold at a major reduction sale in Shropshire, England, and purchased by a partnership.
Lodge Hill Farm owner Christine Williams said: “We are overwhelmed and equally delighted to have achieved this fantastic result with what is a great young heifer. The sale at Carlisle represented a major reduction of the Wilodge Herd, with the entire crop of served and maiden heifers used for pedigree breeding, put up for sale.”
