The Border Belgian Blue Club staged their Fifteenth Annual Spring Show & Sale at Carlisle, when auctioneers Harrison & Hetherington Ltd, Borderway Mart, Rosehill offered for sale one of the biggest and best entries of Belgian Blue Cattle ever seen at this centre. Following the national trend purchasers proved to be very quality selective when making their purchases, with only the top end of the bulls being in demand, the ringside was packed to capacity as buyers bid cautiously. 109 bulls sold to average £3,070.05. The show and sale was kindly sponsored by BBG (Class Prize Money), Bank of Scotland (Championship Awards), British Blue Cattle Society and Border Club (Advertising). The judge, a local suckled calf breeder, John Richardson, Ghyll House, Dufton, Appleby, Cumbria had the very difficult task of judging the show on Friday 20 May.
