Karen Grant, a farmer's daughter from Forres and 2nd year art student in Taigh Chearsabhagh has made this little 5-minute film about the Lochmaddy cattle sales. You can view it on the website of FilmG and vote for it as it is part of a competition of gaelic short films.

It's called Latha Reic (Selling day) and it's at www.filmg.co.uk/gd/viewfilm09.php?id=139&category=4 - if you'd like to have a look.

Thanks Oxenboy, there are some seriously good cattle on this particular island but I still wish they would consider the smaller, native breeds when it comes to land management.
