Saturday morning was damp and grey but that didn’t seem to deter the buyers who had travelled over from the mainland for the first Tiree Cattle Sale of 2010.

Three hundred and seventeen animals had been put up for sale, trading was brisk and all stock was cleared at very satisfactory rates.

Following are the principle lot prices

Charolais Bullock Calves from Heylipol Farm sold to £935. Limousin Bullocks from No2
Kenovay sold to £945 and Limousin Heifers from the same home sold to £885. Leading
the prices per kilo for Bullocks was No8 Barrapol when their Limousins sold to 262pence
and No9 Barrapol led the way for Heifers per kilo at 232pence, also Limousin Crosses.
