On Friday, 10th September 2004 Harrison & Hetherington held their monthly sale of beef breeding cattle.

The busy calendar of sales did not detract from the sale as a large attendance of buyers were drawn from throughout the north and Scotland.

Quality was in the main mixed however best units were particularly sough after whilst secondary sorts also met with a keen enquiry resulting in a very brisk trade.

Bulling heifers were few in numbers but met with enhanced prices leaving all vendors very well pleased.
