We regret to inform you that due to unforeseen circumstances, we have been forced to postpone the Open Day and Willsbro Sale 2012.
On Thursday 15th March we carried out a routine TB (Tuberculosis) test at a rented off-farm beef unit. This test resulted in two suspected cases. Fortunately they were situated at a separate unit used for fattening beef.
Unfortunately due to the rules and regulations of DEFRA this holding was not allowed to be separated from the main holding. As a result it has put the whole herd under a movement restriction including all animals in the sale.
This comes as a huge shock and massive disappointment to the family and all involved. Much hard work and preparation has gone into the event making it one of the most anticipated Holstein sales in Europe.
We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused, especially to anyone who has already made travel arrangements for their trip to sunny Cornwall. We now look forward to welcoming everyone to Willsbro later in the year.
Looking forward, we are now planning to hold our very first ever online live embryo auction. Selling 30 embryo packages over a 1 week period with live bidding! This sale will contain all the cream of genetics from Willsbro from all the best families and high genomic females.
The “1st Willsbro Online Embryo Sale” will be scheduled soon. Full details will be available soon at www.willsbro.com
