Market Report
Saturday 16th May 2020
Notes
246 Store & Breeding Cattle.
The first sale post lockdown was a great success and while sellers could not stay and watch their stock sold, we would suggest that most were pleased with the days trading.
An excellent entry, variable in quality at times, met a fantastic trade. No strength forward but nice cattle traded to exceed vendors expectations by quite a lot in places.
