CALEDONIAN Marts Ltd sold 192 head of cattle and 186 sheep at its annual autumn sale on Islay last month.
Regular buyers and five new customers to the island ensured good trade throughout the day, and more could have been sold to sellers’ advantage. Top price of the day went to D McMillan, Ballulive, for a Limousin bullock at £840, purchased by Brian Gilvear, Graystale, Stirling.
Heifers were also topped by Mr McMillan, again for a Limousin, at £720 also purchased by Brian Gilvear.
