Judge – Mr Willie McCornick, Barquhill, Newton Stewart.
With the uncertainly of receipt of the Single Farm Payment, purchasers at all the spring sales have been cautious and at the Galloway Cattle Society sale held in Wallets Marts, Castle Douglas it was very evident that purchasers had a tight budget and as a result averages were down on the year with only 50% of the bulls sold.
