Cadell Border Leicesters celebrate 75 years with $15,000 top
ABOUT THE SALE
THREE generations of Harpers will mark a milestone at their Ariah Park-based stud's 2021 sale, with the family celebrating 75 years in the stud game.
Cadell Border Leicester stud was founded by the late Ray Harper in 1946 on bloodlines from Kelso and Yarra, with rams purchased from Squire and Freebairns Bumbaldry Stud.
