Highly regarded beef breeding herd to be sold
Harrison & Hetherington is holding the sale of the Inland Pasture commercial breeding herd of Limousin and British Blue cross females and stock bulls on behalf of Messrs Cadzow.
Simon Cadzow who farms near Scremerston, said: “I just want to have more time to enjoy some of my favourite pursuits. For example I want to ski Corbett's couloir in Jackson before my knees have completely gone, but the best time coincides with the start of calving!”

The Cadzows have placed great emphasis on purchasing the best Limousin and British Blue genetics available to a top end commercial budget.
The Inland Pasture herd produces top quality suckler calves sold annually at Wooler, where calves both consistently pick up show prizes and reach high prices.
Heifers and calves are sold at the UK's biggest commercial breeding sales at Borderway in May and June, where they are amongst the leading consigners and a number of these lots have gone on to be show winners.
