160 Store & Breeding Cattle 
Store Cattle slightly less about and quality down a bit on recent weeks met probably the most difficult trade of the year, with buyers more cautious for all but the better end.  Out of spec and poor shaped cattle were not wanted, however, having said all that, there were plenty of bidders for shapey cattle.
