Records look set to be broken at the 128th Highland Cattle sale in Oban next week. The catalogue for the forthcoming sale and show is bulging; it boasts the largest number of entries for several years and it is attracting serious interest from breed enthusiasts at home and abroad.
The total of 55 bulls and 70 females on offer is going to mean a packed ringside at the sales and there is another unique feature: 12 black bulls on sale, a record entry number. A spokesman for the Highland Cattle Society said:‘This is by far the largest consignment of black Highland bulls at the Oban event for well over a century; gone are the days when it was nigh on impossible to find a black Highland bull in any fold.’
There will be a selection from 10 leading folds which will include two from HM Queen’s Balmoral fold along with entries from Ardbhan, Craigluscar, Cailaich, Hope, Allanfearn and Culloden folds. Many of the bulls on offer were shown throughout the summer 2018 season and will be in the show ring again on Sunday, February 10, prior to the Monday sale.
