On Thursday 4th December 2003, Harrison & Hetherington conducted their monthly sale of beef breeding cows and heifers with calves or in calf and bulling heifers.

A poor show of cows and calves were presented to a ring side of buyers looking for quality and ensuring that quality cattle were a good trade but poor units being hard to cash.
