October 25, 2023 Stirling Sale 23rd October 2023

Thistle Stings The Rest as he Takes Top Price

Judge: Mr David Bothwell

Shadow Judge: Sean Mitchell

Auctioneers: United Auctions

The day began with an excellent show of Charolais on Monday 23rd October, all expertly judged by David Bothwell of the Killadeas herd, alongside his shadow Judge Sean Mitchell of Huttonend herd. The sale followed in the afternoon with a packed ring overseeing 65 bulls sold to an 71% clearance rate. The top price climbed to 50,000gns, which is up 22,000gns on last year’s top price, and the average held strong at £8,253, up £654 on last year’s October bull sale.

Commenting on the sale, our Chairman Andrew Sellick said, “A strong commercial trade underpinned a solid sale for the Charolais breed, along with a good level of demand for the pick of the breeders bulls resulted in an average that was up £654 on the year and further evidence the Charolais is delivering for the commercial producer.”

Following on from the bull sale, 10 females were sold, with one cow and calf, and a draft of heifers from the Caithness herd.
