Feeding Cows & Mature Bulls – Customers at the ringside looking for premium export type culls. Ken Gamble of Easingwold sold 2 Pure Bred British Blues for £1750 and £1675. Rest of the cows a sharp trade with Cont x cows carrying meat always £850-£970. A good Pure Blue Bull made £1320 from FA Caton of Weston.

Stores – Trade carried on from last fortnight with nice continentals with power and shape quick to sell as feeders look to keep pens topped up in response to a slightly sharper prime trade. A large entry of Native sired cattle for the second autumn sale found a very ready trade for Angus sired, whilst others were a straight trade on the day. Christmas show next fortnight and plenty of cattle required to satisfy demand. Entries to the office.
