MARKET REPORT - 12TH SEPTEMBER 2026
The Man From Essex and the wonders of AI
He has done it yet again. One and a half lorry loads of top quality Suckler Bred Cattle, superbly presented (and I mean that) sold to incredible levels in front of the best Buyers in England, including the Beast from the East, the King of the North and the Baron of Cantley. He sold small Heifers from £1460 to £1800, and stronger Cattle to £2400 and £2280.
Before the sale, I googled a question asking how would quality Suckler Bred Cattle sell in Norwich today and looked at the AI answer on my phone. It was astounding, mentioning
the entry from Margaretting Hall and the provenance and quality of the cattle and most of all "The Man from Essex factor" - Amazing !!
Todays entry also included a great dispersal of Herefordx, Angusx & Limousinx Suckler Cows and Calves plus In Calf Cows from Messers WA Ketley & Sons, Colchester. There were 12 separate buyers for the 35 Cows on offer and Gerald received an excellent trade, especially when considering the time of year, feed and forage situation, price of diesel etc. Outfits sold to £2750 for a Red Cow and Heifer Calf and £2300 for a 9 year old Limousin x Cow PD 3 months in Calf. Other highlights from this Ladies Day Show included the Championship winner - a marvellous Blonde Cow with Bull Calf at foot from Matt Barker which sold to £3200 to Andy Tomson.
