The action will be at the United Auctions Oban Livestock Centre with the autumn show on Sunday October 7 and the sale on Monday October 8. New for this year at the event, under the auspices of the Highland Cattle Society, will be a commercial Highlander sale of unhaltered, non-pedigree Highlanders after Monday’s pedigree sale.
Promoters say the 2018 event is not to be missed. Some of the top UK breeders will be there. Both days start at 10am. David Soutar will be the show judge with Jimmy Laing taking on the role of chief steward. Trophies, prizes and awards will be presented to the winners at the society’s ceilidh dinner and dance at Oban’s Royal Hotel on the Sunday evening.
