THE North of England Shorthorn Club will hold its annual sale of Beef Shorthorn females at Thirsk Auction Mart on Saturday, September 7.

Club chairman Fraser Hugill said " After last year it is good to be back working together as a club to market our stock. We have 51 females entered this year, making us the largest sale of Beef Shorthorn females in England.

Club secretary David Hollingworth said the majority of stock came from local breeders many of which were on upland farms "The sale always provides a good opportunity to view a range of stock to suit everyone's needs and budget," he said.
