Pickersgills of Hawksworth would break £400 for a Limousin bull bred from their pure Friesian cows. A heap of strong continental heifers found a healthy trade with best heifers £300 - £360.
Natives again good to sell with Angus bulls averaging £262.5 topping at £270 for a calf from PJ&JE Bolland Airton. Heifers were equally as strong averaging £176.
