Feeding Bulls – trade was very good and a similar story of buyers looking to keep pens full whilst there are a few 2020 Spring Bulls available. Bulls between 10-12 months averaged £1326 helped by a pen of high-quality bulls from Andy Rigby of Slaidburn which topped at £1670 whilst under 10 months Limousin cross from same vendor made £1960. T Robinson & Sons, Catlow sold Limousins born in August 2020 at £1350 and October 2020 at £1340. Similar trade reflected in the commercial bulls with all £1100 to £1350.
Feeding bulls urgently required to satisfy demand.

Feeding Cows – a very good trade for feeding cows without any exceptional cattle in the entry. Top price was a 51 month old Angus from J&JA Preston & Son at £1260 followed by a 10 year old Limousin from A&TA Blades at £1250. £1000 and upwards for cattle carrying flesh and no shortage of customers for lean cows.
