Rearing Calves to £470 X2 (32)
B&W av £83.88 Cont av £383.5 Native av £251.2
32 calves through the door this morning however a full ringside of buyers made for a very healthy trade. Blue heifers would have the pick of the trade with 7 heifers over £400 and topping with a heifer from John Marshall of Dacre at £435. A strong turnout of continental bulls saw Martyn Jennings of Cowling saw all of his bulls reach past £450 and top at £470 with Church Farm Enterprises also at £450. Black and whites were a nice trade once again with some young calves easing the average however anything with a hint of flesh was well past the £100 mark.
