Over 40 bulls viewed by Over 40 people!
The Border Angus Spring Bull Walk took place on Wednesday 25 January 2012. Over 40 people attend the eight stop tour to view over 40 Aberdeen Angus Bulls. There was a great display of bulls and I know that the breeders put in a huge amount of effort preparing their bulls for this event and sometimes it feels like a lot of hard work for a short space of time this walk attracted people from far and wide and I hope it has generated additional interest in their bulls and the rewards are realised at the show and sale!
I would like to say a special thank you to Fraser & Christina Cormack…and Christina’s Aunty for providing much welcomed hot soup, pies and delicious cakes at Stickle Heaton. I would also like to thank Debbie Playfair-Hannay and all of those at Tofts for providing the refreshments that rounded off a great day!
A special thanks must also go to the stock men and women throughout the Borders who presented their cattle in top form……. I wish you the best of luck at Stirling!
