At the Christmas sale of dairy cattle at Dumfries Mart there was a sound trade throughout. The calved heifers were topped by a Montbelliard cross, three weeks calved and giving 30 litres, from Mr Ian Burgoyne, Shenrick which sold for £1,820.
Others sold to £1,640 and £1,590 to average £1,571. Bulling heifers sold to £900 per head for a pair of British Friesians from Mr Jim Ferguson, The Park. Many more could have been sold to advantage and the next Dumfries Dairy Sale is on 8th February
