Notes

287 Head of Cattle & Calves

Store and Breeding Cattle

Numbers slightly less and younger, smaller cattle more variable, but any strength especially warm sorts were rather expensive. Competing elements at the moment are straw, feed, respiratory health, cull cow price on the negative side and an increasing clean cattle price on the positive side.
