On Friday 3rd October 2003, Harrison & Hetherington conducted their monthly sale of beef breeding cows and heifers with calves or in calf and bulling heifers. A big show of 565 cows and heifers with calves were forward, an older show of cows were on offer and as often happens at this time of year prices were slightly lower, but quality young units still made there money with the £1000 barrier being broken many times.
