"Fort William calf sale started the season off with an ‘explosive trade'. Credit to the vendors who showed off their wares to full advantage with large lots of cattle being sold to a ringside of buyers many of whom attracted by the new mid-week slot left without purchasing. Portree calf sale on Monday offers an opportunity to acquire well bred, naturally reared calves similar to those sold today."
