Market Report
Saturday 3rd August 2024
Auctioneers: Philip Dale & Tim Webster.
234 STORE CATTLE AND CALVES
STORE CATTLE
We had more store cattle from one man than many markets had in total. Plus and this is a very bit plus - despite reports this week that farming cattle were cheaper because farmers were so busy, ours were considerably dearer !!
With the beef trade on the up (for now) this could be a sign of the times ?
