Caithness Young Farmers Clubs Gain Genersous Donations

12th January 2013

THE most northerly YFC on mainland Britain has been given a funding boost from Aberdeen and Northern Marts (ANM).

Forss, Halkirk and Bower YFCs in Caithness each received �820, which was raised at the recent 20th anniversary sale held at the Caithness Livestock Centre at Quoybrae.

ANM marked the occasion by donating a 26-month-old British Blue cross heifer, bred by Iain Gunn, Murza, Bower, and giving the sale proceeds to the three clubs.

The 584kg animal was sold for �2,300 to well-known hotelier Murray Lamont of Mackays Hotel in Wick for diners at his Number One restaurant. Donations brought the final total up to �2,460.

Club representatives were presented their cheques at Mackays Hotel by John Bremner, manager of the Caithness Livestock Centre.
