Fantastic First Sale

Harrison & Hetherington held their opening fortnightly sale of store cattle of 2021 at Lockerbie Auction Mart on Tuesday 12^th January which met with high demand and a tremendous trade throughout.

Aberdeen Angus bullocks topped at £1280 for a batch of strong cattle from Wintersceugh Farms; the same home also had Aberdeen Angus bullocks up to £1230 and £1110.  Limousins topped at £1220 from regular consignors, Messrs Richardson of Purdomstone.

Heifers topped at £1150 for an outstanding Limousin from Messrs Common of Crossdykes.  278p was the top PPK of the day for a pen of four ten month old Limousin stirks from  Messrs Glendinning, Newfield.  Messrs Robson of Laverockhall realised 256ppk for a pair of nine month old Limousin stirks weighing 394kg.
Some buyers still went home empty handed which bodes well for our next sale in two weeks time on Tuesday 26^th January.
