PRIZE SHOW & SALE OF SUCKLED CALVES
SATURDAY 24th SEPTEMBER 2005

At Borderway Mart on Saturday 24th September 2005, Harrison & Hetherington held their Annual Autumn Show & Sale of suckled calves. A massive entry of 1765 bullocks and heifers were forward and a quality show was presented to a large ringside of buyers. Trade was tremendous and considering the recent beef trade prices were far beyond vendors expectations. Averages were only slightly down on the year.

979 Steers averaging £552.43 (-£43.40)

786 Heifers averaging £493.82 (-£23.81)

Overall Champion Calf with l/r Mark Hallam (judge), David Carruthers (James & Sons Sponsor), Robert Waugh, Douglas Waugh, Colin Lindsay (Capontree Veterinary Practice Sponsor) and Andrew Waugh.

The show was judged by Mr M Hallam of Meadowhurst, Ashbourne who awarded the Champion Prize to Mr FA Waugh, Kilnstown for a Limousin cross Heifer which later sold for £1400 and was purchased by the Judge. This black heifer, an April born calf was sired by the registered bull Burndale Stewart and bred out of a Belgian Blue cross Blue Grey mother. She was shown by the younger generation of the Waugh family, namely Robert and Douglas.

The Reserve Champion was shown by Mr P Richardson, of Sandhills which made £900 and purchased by Mr S E Sellers, Green Top, Kilburn. Top price of the day was £2700 for a Limousin cross Heifer from R & M Scott, Thirlwall Castle purchased by A Padfield, Brambles Green Lane, Norfolk.
