Rearing Calves to £430 x2 (91)
Good number of calves on offer today with 91 through the ring and a healthy trade too. Chadwick and Leaver of Southfield, Burnley topped the prices twice, with two tremendous british blue bulls at £430 each at only 1 month and 12 days of age. Small heifers seemed to be the trade of the day with Aberdeen Angus heifers averaging £231.25. and Lim heifers averaging £303.33.
Black and whites easier on the week but trade was good for the quality on offer with plenty of fleshy types past the £100 barrier.
