The Beef Trade is sticky. Store Cattle get dearer. Calves remain very expensive. What more can anyone say ?

CULL COWS (22)

A nice show and a bit of quality met a fine trade with Cows to 398ppkg, 395ppkg & £2945 for Amy Kinge.  Around half the entry were over £2k - what are the Breeders worth ???

There is a lot of interest in these, for obvious reasons- high scrap values, shortage of cattle, tax efficiencies, high end prices etc etc.
Cows with Bull Calves sold to £2720 for John Carrick who also had £2450 for Cows with Heifer Calves.

Strong Blues with a bit of shape won the day with RJ Barnes at £750, CB & SC Gapp at £715 and CW Potter to £690. Charolais from Alex Dann sold to £725 and R. Paterson received £585 for younger Charolais. Strong Herefords from CB & SC Gapp made up to £600 with R Paterson at £495 for younger ones and Alex Dann at £470

Some nice sorts forward in all sections and a big thank you to all Farmers who made the journey and were rewarded.
