Sale leader at 5100gns, Top Side Orion, from Ross and Elaine Pattinson Two Cumbrian exhibitors making their debut in the pedigree cattle arena at Skipton Auction Mart landing principal honours at the Blue Wednesday show and sale of British Blue bulls and females. Top Side Orion, from Brampton’s Ross and Elaine Pattinson, topped the sale at 5100gns, while the show championship fell to Ulverston’s Dean Saunders with Maidenlands Oxygen, which attracted the second highest bid at 4700gns. The Pattinsons, who run the Top Side herd at Temon Farm, secured the lead price with an all-black ET son of Springbank Blackstar, bred from the Campagnard ET De St Fontaine cow, Lukeroyal Winnifred.
