It was just as well more stock was on offer as buyers in attendance were keener to acquire the cattle on offer which brought about a stronger trade. For under 10m.o saw Lambert & Co sell Sim x Strs at £845, Rounding Bros £970 for Lim x Strs, Davis Dairies £830 for BB x Strs. 11-12m.o age group saw DN Gardner & Son sell Char x Hefs at £800. & Sim x Strs at £905, KM Key & Son sold Lim x Strs to £935 and J Everson £890for Sim x Strs.
