Is that just for the better continentals ,What about the native crosses any news on them
I bought cattle out of Carlisle last Wednesday and if I can't make money on them I'm going to throw in the towel. To be quite honest I was nearly going to give them up this backend if they had been the same price as last year, with the feed been 25% more

In all honesty that's only really based in the continentals. Rugby's suckled calf sale has very few native cattle in, certainly not enough runs that you could call a trade on. Our best 7 month lim heifers were up to £960 and £970. Our lesser lim heifers were £810 -£850. April born lim steer was £900 and had charolais steers up to £910. Overall was £18 back on last year but had more heifers in so not far off really.

It did help that Bally boy wasn't thereThey won’t be cheap next week now

I can never weigh that up
Sucklerbred 18mth old cattle are making £1200+ and although a few sucklerbred weanlings have made fantastic money the national average for them would be a long way from £1200+. Sennybridge last week steer av was less than £800 and hfr av was in the £600's.
More expensive than they have been,didnt see any sold but from a good source.Stirks were a 2 teir trade with very little in the middle,suckler bred good size for age Charolais not much cheaper than 12 mths ago.Native/FH were very cheap unless exceptional.Im sure GUTH will be along with a full report shortly...

Sedgemoor today.
Wow what a day for sellers in all rings.
Store cattle, a very short entry of only some 700 head with a much improved entry of cattle carrying more flesh/ size of late sold to a much improved trade of some £80/100 head for most animals.
Stirks,
A wonderfull entry of some 450/500 head of stirks again of a better quality across the board with many runs of super and well bred/ farmed suckler types coming thru the ring, ALL classes from the worst to the best sold at a much improved trade on the week and again as with the strong stores would be up £80/100 head, good well farmed dairyx angus ( N/S ) around the £475/525 head mark and plenty of suckler calves over £700 head to top out at just sigh of £1000 head.
Store lambs.
Wow, what a wonderfull wonderfull entry of lambs, apparently 3500 were penned up with many many runs of quality lambs in the pens, todays entry would without a shadow of a doubt would be the best quality entry for some years at the centre and trade as a result was the dearest since the epic markets last March, plenty of lambs £64/70 head, most lambs 40 kilos + would be on a par or above their value in the prime ring,very long keep lambs around the £50/53 mark, biggest crowd of buyers for some months and as a result buyers were saying trade was up£4/5 on the week.
