A great entry in terms of numbers although quality lacking in places and another fantastic trade for everything, with a special mention for calves and prime.  Richard Criddle led the way with B.Blue heifers to £1440 and £1270. One third of the calf entry made over £300 and over age Angus and  British White Steers sold to £1322 and £1036. B.Blue x in calf cows sold to £1950 for Sharon Morter.
