Did you see what the organic bullers made? Was going to come down as could do with a few for this year but too busy in the endstrong trade, at exeter again today, y/s dear, as well. Are people expecting hfrs to be short ? Will the europe cattle, get harder to get, post brexit ? Or, are fmrs, not putting sexed dairy in ? Expecting every one else to ?
