A firmer trade, especially for the younger and with a bit of shape. There was no real quality or strength, but plenty of competition from regular and newish buyers.

Cows and calves were an improved trade, which is good considering the cull cow market. The beef trade marches on and with relatively low feed prices, cattle farmers may well be better placed than the arable ones.

Important notice to Farmers - please get Farm Assured if you can, it makes a real difference.

 

Cows and Calves topped at £1400 for Fred Fryatt and £1340 for Marcus Satchell and generally were a much improved trade.  A Pedigree Hereford 4yo Stock Bull from Marcus Satchell made £1190

A bit of a two tier trade, with stronger quality sorts to £422, £408 for CW Potters Blues and £332 for Alex Dann. Herefords reached £295 for Tom Crawford and Angus £275 from the same vendor, with David Parsons getting £230. SC & CB Gapp sold Herefords to £270.

A  cold start today, but price remains strong through all sections. Two minutes silence was respected at 11am and thanks to all concerned.
