Charolais breeding females met a consistent solid trade selling to a top of 6,500gns in Stirling on Saturday 11 September when Duncan MacGregor, Kilsyth offered the entire adult portion from his Corrie herd and Murray Lyle, Midcambushinnie, Dunblane staged a major reduction of his Loganbar herd.
“Bidding was fierce throughout the three hour sale resulting in 100% clearance with buyers travelling from throughout the UK and Ireland, including several new breeders,” commented BCCS’s David Benson. “Overall, this production sale rewarded two renowned herds for their efforts and proved a real tonic for other dedicated Charolais breeders.”
