This has never been seen before. Not a great entry in terms of quality or of size but suffice to say that some people were £500 out with their valuations !
A lot of cattle showed potential at best and sold way ahead of vendors expectations.
Alice looked through the looking glass and saw wonderland - for how long nobody knows.

What a difference a week makes !
Vastly increased prices for all sorts, caused by the huge inflation for beef cattle. Blues topped at £500 for CW Potter with Alex Dann having Blues at £445, £430, £425. RJ Barnes made £420 and £400 also for Blues. Angus heifers from CB & SC Gapp reached £310 and Hereford heifers from R Paterson sold to £320. Eddy Brigham meanwhile reached £330 for a Hereford Bull

Very good entry at Norwich today and was well supported with a few old friends returning. A good trade was had by all.
