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.
Baconers and cast pigs sold to £100.
The next Dumfries pig sale will be on Monday, January 11.
