The British Limousin Cattle Society’s event will commence with the show at 11am on Friday 10 February, when judged by Craig Ridley of the Haltcliffe herd, Cumbria, followed by the evening sale of females at 5pm.
On Saturday, the sale of pedigree bulls will commence at 11am in the same ring where last year’s new world record price bull sold for 180,000gns.
