Market Report   Saturday 14th August 2021 Auctioneers: Philip Dale & Tim Webster. Notes 148 Head of Cattle & Calves. Store and Breeding Cattle Perfect weather conditions have led to record yields of everything and this was a typical summer market with many choosing to stay at home and work the land. However, there were no concerns for vendors with the usual huge prices achieved for all categories of stock, fueled by the majority of the population who are tending to stay in this country and are usually more intelligent than the people who talk a lot and tell them what they should be doing. Agriculture has been crap for 30 years-are the roaring twenties set to continue ?HIGHLIGHTSSTEERSBAx 12mo £1370 MC BarkerBBx 16mo £1320 R CriddleBAx 10mo £1270 MC BarkerBAx 12mo £1240 MC BarkerSimx 14mo £1150 G Wisson & SonLimx 15mo £1140 R CriddleLimx 14mo £1100 Rounding BrosLimx 14mo £1090 G Wisson & SonLimx 13mo £1060 Rounding BrosLimx 17mo £1030 JM Fryatt HEIFERSLimx 15mo £1060 G Wisson & SonLimx 17mo £1050 G Wisson & SonLimx 16mo £970 JM FryattBBx 19mo £960 G Wisson & SonBBx 15mo £940 JC WatsonBBx 24mo £930 G Wisson & SonLimx 16mo £900 Davis DairiesLimx 12mo £890 J DoyleLimx 20mo £890 LP & PV ThainLimx 15mo £860 Davis Dairies STORE BULLSLim 13mo £1030 Davis Dairies Cull & Prime Cattle (19) Another decent entry with some big prices.
