After a brief break for Christmas and the new year, the British Charolais Society is getting ready for the 2023 pedigree sales season.

On Friday 20 January, members of the society will gather in Borderway Mart, Carlisle, for the second annual White Gold female Charolais sale, with the sale set to kick off at 12.30pm.

Thirty-seven served and maiden heifers will go under the hammer from some of the UK’s top herds, with the list of vendors and their number of entries below.
