On Friday, 22nd October 2004 Harrison & Hetherington held their monthly sale of beef breeding cattle. A small show of beef breeding cattle were presented to a good ringside of buyers. Quality again being the key words as there were several bidders for the best units whilst lesser sorts were harder to cash. The bulling heifer trade was also selective with only the better sorts attracting purchasers.
