Tractor dealers Nelson and James Alexander, who run a substantial suckler herd at Randalstown, Co Antrim, sold part of their Jalex herd in a reduction sale in Ballymena Mart. Comprising very good-wearing beef mothers, they have a long record of producing E and U grade calves. And Jalex has top-level success in the show ring, producing winners at Balmoral, the Commercial Cattle Club shows and Allams Fatstock.
