LEGENDS OF LOGAN SALE SUCCESS

|June 12, 2025
The much-anticipated Legends of Logan pedigree Holstein sale on June 5 proved to be a resounding triumph, capturing the attention of breeders and dairy enthusiasts across the UK and beyond.
-
Hosted by the Yates family of East Logan, Castle Douglas, owners of the renowned Logan Holstein herd, the sale lived up to its prestigious billing, offering elite genetics, exceptional conformation and proven performance.
The sale topper was the outstanding Logan Ryder Tickle Red VG87, a powerful second calver with exceptional type and presence. She commanded a remarkable 11,000gns, drawing intense interest due to her deep maternal line tracing back to the legendary Strans-Jen-D Tequila EX96.
Tickle not only embodies the genetic potential of her lineage but also represents the modern red carrier cow - stylish, productive, and market-ready. She joins the Wiltor herd of the Jones family.
The sale featured a well-curated lineup across all age groups and categories, showcasing the depth of breeding and consistency within the Logan herd - 79 cows and heifer in milk averaged an impressive £4,092.34; 29 bulling heifers achieved a robust £3,515.69 average; 65 heifer calves sold to a strong £2,889.92 average; three Jerseys achieved a notable £4,305 average.
