The British Simmental Cattle Society sale at Harrison & Hetherington’s Borderway Mart takes place on December 3.
Called the Simmental Next Generation Sale, the new fixture will be for all classes of pedigree Simmental females, with a further section for pedigree Simmental Weaned Calves born in the 2021 year.
The British Simmental Cattle Society’s president, Stewart Stronach said that the timing was ‘just right’ for the breed to introduce a high-profile society sale of pedigree females and with the new dynamic of a section of weaned calves.
He said: “It is the aim that this fixture can quickly establish itself to be a showcase sale for the Simmental breed that provides the quality, performance and genetics for ‘next generation’ cornerstone cattle in herds across the UK.
