A packed ringside of enthusiasts gathered at Newark Saturday last, to witness the Autumn Show and Sale of Pedigree Lincoln Red Cattle.
A decent catalogued entry and plenty of quality met buyers in somewhat a subdued mood with plenty of talk of winter feeding costs, which has been a reflection throughout all the beef breed pedigree sales nationally this Autumn.

HEMINGBY TREASURE was purchased at 3,000gns (a record price for Lincoln Red Heifers) by Messrs FIELD FARMING COMPANY, UPTON, SOUTHWELL, NOTTS.
