British Blue Cross Takes Tow Law Championship
30th October 2017
British Blue Cross Champion at Hexham "Tow Law" Prize Show and Sale of Suckled Calves & Store Cattle.
Hexham and Northern Marts held their Traditional "Tow Law" Sale for Store Cattle and Suckled Calves on Thursday 26th October 2017.
Overall Champion - WD & B Thompson, East Unthank (British Blue x Heifer)
Taking home the HH Mews Memorial Trophy for the Champion Beast was Eric, Susan and Michael Gowland, Allergill with a tremendous British Blue steer at 23 months which sold at £1300 to Elaine Sedgewick.
Champion Calf
The Champion Calf award went to M/s WD & B Thompson, East Unthank, Haltwhistle. Andrew Thompson was presented with the Perpetual Trophy and the Colin Mitchelson Memorial Plate for being a homebred calf. This fantastic British Blue x heifer at 10 months attracted big interest but was eventually knocked down to an undisclosed telephone bidder for £2000.
Another successful day’s trading for all classes. In particular good quality Steer and Heifer calves meeting a very strong demand.
