Market Reports

Auctioneers: Keith Rose and Philip Dale

Notes

Another excellent entry but the same old scenario, plenty of bidding for quality and trade to match. Small badly bred & fed stock again limited response. Vendors of these type of cattle may have to consider growing them over winter if they have the food available.  For under 10mo sucklers I.Orr topped the Lim strs at £890 whilst Davis Dairies sold Lims at £820 & £830. R.C. Riches & Partners had a good run of Sims & Lims which sold for £980, £880 & £955.  Up to 19mo A.Hurn  Partners sold strong Sim & A.Angus x Heifers at £980 & £955
