On Thursday 11th July 2002, Harrison & Hetherington conducted their monthly sale of breeding cows and heifers with calves or in calf and bulling heifers.

Cattle of all classes were forward in greater numbers, and quality however, was more mixed. Strong units were again good to sell albeit not at the extreme rates of the previous sale.

In the bulling heifer section prices reflected the inferior quality on offer.

Averages- 270 cows with calves at foot £663.71, 240 heifers with calves at foot £741.59, 34 cows in calf £495.71, 101 heifers in calf £507.24, 275 bulling heifers £471.56.
