It takes two to tango, which is a good job in our Zone affected area. Any sale that we have could be tricky, but so far results have been very pleasing, in line with other centres and reflecting the current trading conditions for all cattle.
We are wondering wether the French, Dutch and Belgian Farmers would put up with these conditions ? Their Governments seem to agree with them.

Oh the joys of Norwich Market Calf Section - everyone was happy, especially most sellers. Blues from Alex Dann came out on top at £332 with CW Potter at £308 and £302. Herefords a very firm trade with Bulls from Alex Dann at £298 and heifers from same vendor to £295. Limousins from RJ Barnes sold to £278 and Angus from David Parsons reached £270, £260, £252, £250.

Nice to see farmers happy with life who were present, but our thoughts go out to the farmers still within the Bluetongue Zone who still cannot be with us.
