ALI Jackson’s champion went on to top the sale of store cattle at C and D Auction Marts, Dumfries, on Monday, when members of the Dumfries and Galloway Young Farmers clubs’ exhibited their entries in the overwintering competition.
From a total of 37 YF calves forward, Ali’s Limousin bullock named Black Jack was originally purchased from Gary Bell, Haa-Side at the October sale at Dumfries, before going on to win the baby beef section at LiveScot. Black Jack later sold back to Gary, who was buying on behalf of a client for future showing, for £2000 or 362.3p per kg.
In reserve was Youknowwhatimeanharry from Ali’s girlfriend, Hannah Sloan. Another Limmy bullock bred at Haa-Side, he realised £1520 or 302p when knocked down to local show man, W Boyd.
