Classic Kirkby store cattle show top title to Little Miss Attitude
Harrison and Hetherington’s March store cattle sale, which included the annual Kirkby Classic show, saw Will Ketley, Colchester, carrrying out judging duties.
A fantastic show of more than 30 cattle were forward to judge. Taking the classic championship honours and topping the sale at £3,000 was a smart nine month old Limousin cross heifer Little Miss Attitude, sired by Soleil and consigned by Messrs Marston, Easegill Head. This one was purchased by an undisclosed Yorkshire buyer.
The reserve classic champion was awarded to a shapely nine month old Limousin cross bullock, also sired from Soleil from Messrs Marston, Easegill Head and selling for £2,350 to Messrs Jowett, Bradford
