At Borderway on Friday Harrison & Hetherington held its annual Show and Sale of 1174 suckled calves. A nice quality show was presented to a keen ring of buyers who bid briskly ensuring what could only be described as an outstanding trade.

The pre sale show was judged by Mr John Trenholme of Thirsk who did a marvellous job and awarded the Champion prize to a cracking Limousin steer consigned by Hackleton Farms, Nottingham. This animal later went on to make £750 bought be the Judge. Reserve Champion went to a Belgian Blue steer consigned by Messrs Martin, Hesley Well. He made £610 to Messrs Dent, Elm House, Bolton.
