Fortnightly Sale of Young Feeding Bulls, Store Bullocks & Heifers, Breeding Cattle
Forward: 654 head of cattle
Comprising: 258 Young Feeding Bulls, 385 Bullocks & Heifers, 2 Feeding Cows & 9 Breeding Cattle.
In the young Bull section, A pre lambing time sale caused a reduction in size and quality as housing is cleared. However trade for assured 9 to 11 month old continental bulls aimed to carry the appropriate amount of cover when finished continue to sell well.
There was a more mixed show of stores but they were a decent trade with strong cattle maintaining prices from previous sales. Younger cattle made up a larger proportion of the sale and seasonal grazing buyers are beginning to come out looking for cattle before turnout, with young bullocks looking especially good to sell at stages in the sale.
NEXT SALE – WEDNESDAY 30th MARCH 2016.
