Borderway Weekly Sale of Calves

On Wednesday 8^th September Harrison and Hetherington held their weekly sale of 306 calves.   A mixed show of calves were presented with younger calves being harder to sell with a few buyers missing due to the fine spell of weather.  Topping the sale was a British Blue heifer calf from regular vendor Turnbull Farming, Penrith selling at £480.  Limousins topped from JG Threlkeld, Beyond the Moss selling a steer for £470.  A smaller show of dairy bred calves were on offer with top price coming for a Friesian calf selling for £235 from R E Nash, Newton Stewart.  Strong calves still continued at high rates of return and many more calves could still be sold to vendors advantage.
