James Huck of Sowerthwaite, Austwick had a great run of 8-9month old Limousin and Blonde crosses the two best at £1250 £1240 and others at 1200.

In the heifers it was Messrs Wilkinson who topped prices of £1360 down to £1210 for stronger heifers, Craig Schofield of Cheadlewood had a super homebred Limousin Heifer just over a year old at £1200, and Sheila Mason of Keasden had a homebred Blue cross Heifer that was exactly a year old also sell at £1200.
