MARKET REPORT - WEDNESDAY 8TH JANUARY 2014
Forward: 1095 head of cattle
Comprising: 408 Young Feeding Bulls, 680 Bullocks & Heifers, 7 Breeding Cattle
A great show of cattle at Skipton to start the new year, with 150 head more sold than in 2013 and surprisingly the overall average up by £15 per head on the year.
The bulls were good to sell with clients cramming the ringside, whilst as the end of the day, the ringside was still 2 or 3 deep with customers ensuring a good level right to the end. It was a mammoth sale but the last pen was sold at 5.37pm.
