Handy show of calves this morning and despite a quiet ringside of buyers a good steady trade was seen for all on offer. Best bulls were maybe a touch easier on the week with Fred Houseman of Church Farm Enterprises topping at £375 with a respectable average of 323.64 for Blue bulls. A nice run of limousin’s from Pickersgills sold away to a top of £290.
Heifers were a good trade once again today with a couple of buyers making best calves a nice trade topping with a cracking heifer again from Church Farm Enterprises at £350.
Black and White bulls set a fair pace early on today with some cracking Friesian type calves from Lee’s of Lothersdale topping at £155, £140 with a fleshy Holstein bull from CN&SA Harrison Elslack at £130 with other handy calves in the £70 to £100 bracket.
