At Broughton Market on Tuesday 24th August 2010 Harrison & Hetherington held their annual August Show and sale of store sheep.

A good show of sheep were submitted to a very large attendance of customers who bid freely at all classes and a lightly successful trade resulted with prices well in advance of vendors expectations.
