2016 Autumn born bulls in short supply and top quality cattle scarce. Ian Pratt headed this section with a 13 month old Limousin cross at £1430. 13-17 month old bulls averaged £1023.

Feeding Cows –

These remained at similar values with the occasional cow selling potentially well. Most notable price from JM Townsend was a under 30 months cow at £1120 and E&M Townley with a 38 month old cow at £1180.
Store Cattle –

Strong short keep Bullocks & Heifers and the smarter end of yearlings were easy to sell and upkept recent rates fairly easily, however the more commercial type of cattle and those looking a bit weathered were harder to sell with larger shows of these around the country. All in all though, a great day for August with 724 head of feeding cattle through the Craven Ring.
