Middleton In Teesdale Store Cattle Show & Sale

On Tuesday 1^st November Harrison & Hetherington Ltd held its show and sale of store cattle within Middleton-In-Teesdale Market.

Before the sale the pre-sale show took place, this year the judging was left to Mr Andrew Richardson, Appleby who awarded the championship to the first prize steer from J C & J White, Rigg Farm, who went on to sell for £1700. The reserve champion went to the first prize heifer from G Scott, Low House which later sold for £1640. A big thank you goes to all our sponsors for your continued support.
