144 Store and Breeding Cattle
Another fair entry for the straw carting period !!
We had a mixed entry in terms of quality and overall trade was good. Some of the secondary sorts were a touch easier, reflecting the current beef prices, but preimium quality cattle looked a good price. Jack Peacock topped with Limousin x Steers at £1070 and Charolais x Heifers at £860.
