the cattle on offer. An exceptional trade was seen, with types and ages of cattle presented.
Topping the sale with an outstanding Limousin Steer from R.E Young & Sons, East Coldside realising £1430 to J. Thompson, Small Burns, Longhorsley.
Topping the heifer trade again with some quality cattle from R.E Young & Sons, East Coldside realising £1250 to BW & AO Manners, Weetslade.
This was a fitting and
well-deserved end for the brothers Dennis, Erick and David Young who sold the last cattle from East Coldside today after nearly 40 years supporting Acklington mart.
