Mr. and Mrs. Preller dispersed their old established herd on 25th January 2006. The herd had been run on strictly commercial lines, some crossed with a Blonde bull and many dehorned, and was removed to KVN Stockdale’s Hallworthy Market, Cornwall for convenience. A large crowd competed fiercely for the stock on offer resulting in a total clearance. The horned cows and heifers sold at a marked premium over the dehorned.
