Forward: 182 head of cattle
Comprising: 73 Young Feeding Bulls, 2 Beef Feeding Cows & 107 Bullocks & Heifers.
A very tidy end to the year with cattle in high demand and numbers way short of requirements. Strong bulls very good to sell, medium to long keep bulls similar to previous weeks.
In the stores everything was dearer as feeders looked to stock up sheds before Christmas. A nice show of cattle for the new year sale with a lot of strong sorts entered together with many annual consignments of yearling cattle for longer term keep. Catalogues online from Thursday 22nd December.
NEXT SALE – WEDNESDAY 4th JANUARY 2017

1125 HEAD comprising 250 Young Bulls, 10 Beef Bred feeding Cows,
