On Friday, 10th November 2006 Harrison & Hetherington held their November sale of Breeding cattle. 305 Beef Breeding units sold under the hammer with a huge crowd of buyers turning out. We had a very good dispersal of 70 Bazadaise and Limousin x cows with Bazadaise calves at foot from Messrs Forster, Low Houselop Farm, which sold exceptionally well averaging £679.

The top average was £1700 per unit for a string of very good Limousin x heifers with Limousin calves at foot from Messrs Skidmore, Needles Hall. Trade in general was very good for a mixed show of cows with calves and bulling heifers.
