LEADING livestock auctioneers Harrison and Hetherington conducted an on-farm sale of Farm Machinery at Midtown Farm on behalf of the Bunting family of Dumfries.

At the sale, an amazing £3,824.25 was raised for ‘Sam’s Lab’ to help underprivileged children with new and upgraded software to ensure them a better education and the best start in life.

The charity heifer was sold twice for £1,600. Firstly to Grange Quarries Ltd, Lockerbie, who put it back up for sale, when it then went under the hammer and bought by K&R Foster Ltd. Added to this total were donations from other people, including a donation from H&H of £500.

The Bunting family would generously like to donate all the proceeds from this British Blue x Heifer in memory of their eldest daughter Sam, who lost her life in 2021.

After Sam’s funeral, with the help of their pastor and a woman from their church, the donations collected were taken to Nepal to support a mission in a children’s school where much-needed computers and technology were provided and a computer lab set up named ‘Sam’s Lab’ to honour her memory.

The money from this heifer will be donated to ‘Sam’s Lab’ to help underprivileged children with new and upgraded software to ensure them a better education and the best start in life.
