NEWCASTLETON ANNUAL TWO DAY SALE
Tuesday 24th and
Wednesday 25th October 2006
At their Newcastleton Mart on Tuesday 24th and Wednesday 25th
October 2006, Harrison & Hetherington Limited held their
Annual Special two day sale of Blue Grey heifers (day one) and
Bullocks (day two).
An entry of 1520 was forward with prices on a rise with regular
buyers being pushed by a wave on new ones. This satisfied both
auctioneers and sellers with averages being well up on the year.
Blue Grey heifers averaged £456.72 overall.
Top in the strong heifer section was £780 obtained three
times by Messrs Wallace of Farney
Shields, Messrs Hogg of Milnholm, and Messrs Irving of Mountbenger.
Top in the Spring born section was a pen of four shown by Messrs
Moore of Softley which went on to make £520.
