Dumfries Mart conducted its annual Christmas Sale of Pigs earlier this month. This was the first anniversary of the successful re-commencement of monthly pig sales at the mart and 103 were sold. A small herd dispersal from Mark Day, Carlcroft, Harbottle, Northumberland produced the day`s top price, £300 for a four year old purebred British Saddleback sow, in-pig to the stock boar. She was purchased by M.J. & J.A. Dobson, Hillhead, Auldgirth, Dumfries. Others breeding pigs sold to £150, also from Carlcroft. In line with national trends, store and prime pigs were slightly harder to cash on the month. Cutters sold to £100 from SRUC, Easter Howgate; weaners topped at £50 for British Saddleback gilts from Gary Scott, Broxburn; porkers sold to £80 for some exceptional Duroc gilts from Jason Knaggs, Doncaster who also sold boars at £70.
