The current climate cooling affected the entry, however trade was considerably warmer, even more so than last time.
Trade was like a nuclear chain reaction on speed (A released neutron travels at speeds of around 10 million meters per second. The complete process of an explosion takes about a micro second - know as a "Shake" - "As fast as the shake of a lambs tail" by the physicists at Los Alamos)

Considering the very, very, very cold weather and very, very low entries at some markets, this was an excellent show for little old Norwich. Excellent runs of B.Blues from Alex Dann, CW Potter and The Beef Co resulted in the following prices.
B.Blue Bulls to £390 Alex Dann, £370 CW Potter & Son, £330 Beef Co.
B.Blue Heifers to £340 Alex Dann, £340 CW Potter & Son, £255 Beef Co.
Aberdeen Angus calf prices have eased a bit recently, however David Parsons reached £205 for a Bull and £125 for a Heifer.
Reared Angus from Christine Hanton sold to £300

A bitter cold day here in Norwich today but a big thank you to the buyers and especially the farmers for making the effort, and all farmers without exception went home very happy !
