44 calves through the door this morning with a nice trade throughout. A good show of black and white calves met a nice trade today with Richard and Ann Wright of Airton topping with a fleshy Holstein at £140. A brace of Limousin bulls from Paul and Janet Bolland of Airton sold nicely to £360 and £350. Blues again topped the day with Joss Lancaster’s sweet blue calf selling to £415 and heading to Malton.

A younger show of native calves saw a slower trade than previous weeks with a lot of week to fortnight of age calves selling in the £100 - £150 mark.

Continental were nice to sell, not quite the quality of the previous fortnight but still plenty of bidding to see the better end make £290 - £310 with Mike Longster of Fellbeck topping at £310.
