Fleur will remain at Netherton where she will be put in calf before going into the Netherton herd’s embryo breeding programme where she will be flushed extensively. The Medley’s have previously purchased cattle from Netherton including a daughter of the 30,000gns Netherton Missie A114. Speaking about the sale Mr Medley said: “Through these genetics and other top females we have bought in the past, we hope to create an elite herd. Fleur will no doubt make a great addition to our genetic base.”
