Scott Donaldson, Managing Director Harrison & Hetherington
For this year’s May Bull sales, the team are excited to announce that both sellers and committed purchasers will be able to attend the sales in-person again, in as normal a sale as the current restrictions allow.
Online bidding will also be running alongside the traditional mart ring for all other interested parties, given the success of the company’s virtual platform. One key difference this year sees the 2021 sales split over three weekends, with Limousin, Continental and Traditional themes across each.
Catalogues are now published, and the sales will take place between Friday 7th May and Saturday 22nd May.
A BLACKSMITH has played a major role in the farming and business life of Alasdair Houston, of Gretna House Farms, Gretna Green, in Dumfries-shire – the fourth generation of the family to farm there. While probably best-known globally for owning the Famous Blacksmith Shop and its equally celebrated anvil to conduct thousands of marriages as part of what’s now a major Scottish visitor destination, on the farming side, his Gretnahouse prefix has become a byword for excellence in no fewer than three breeds – Simmental, Charolais and Aberdeen-Angus. That latter breed is where the other Blacksmith comes in. Gretnahouse Blacksmith L500 has made an indelible mark on the breed, both in this herd and many others.
