Calves
Just a small show in today but some real quality forward, with tops of £420 today for a month-old Limousin x bull from H L & T E smith with others in the consignment just short of the 400 mark. A lovely little consignment from A Burgess sold smaller fresh calves to £350 and heifers to £290, calves in general just back a little bit with the changeable weather just making a few farmer buyers a little more cautious, but overall trade remains strong. More needed every week!
