308 Head of Cattle & Calves.

Store and Breeding Cattle

Today could have been difficult, with rising food prices, no grass or straw, a bit of a wobble in the beef end and torrential rain, which can put people off cattle buying.However, new buyers turned up and the law of supply and demand reigns again - these buyers are probably correct as in some parts of the country, store cattle numbers will dry up.
