I've only heard 2nd hand, but most things a bit less except the very best stores and calves which were still very dear.

Yes that was my opinion. I watched a little bit on my phone but most looked short. Didn’t look like many buyers there.

I think a few marts are having less buyers but also less stores to sell, I've had 3 marts ring me yesterday and today asking about moving cattle farm to farm from farmers who don't want to or can't get to a mart to sell stores.

I’ve written many letters to many different Supermarkets and they always send me back a standardised pre written reply on EVERY occasion even when I have replied to their reply

Twitter might be a different story as all their followers can see it (I think, I don't really use it).

Well the store cattle/ stirk and calve trade today was a sellers market have no doubt about that!
@beefandsleep idea that store markets should be postponed next week is well and truly not a good idea after seeing todays trade!
Store cattle, about 600 penned sold to an electric trade for anything but overfat/ cattle fit to kill with these cattle as expected seeing a small drop of £20/30 head on the week but as for the grazing/ long term feeding cattle then just wow, trade for these cattle were as dear as last week and plenty of cattle £900/1000 head +.
All store cattle looked very well sold.
Stirks, a very small entry of only around 130 head penned sold to a fast demand for well bred/ farmed cattle and good suckler bred sorts would easily be £50 head up on the week but these grade of cattle were sadly few and far between, good strong native angus/ Hereford N/S steers dairy bred around the 6 month mark easily making £420/30 head and looking very well sold, no end of very poor cattle met little demand and thus will distort the average and not give a true reflection on trade for well farmed cattle.
Calves, didn't go in this ring as no orders for them but I was told it was a fast trade all things considered with plain native calves around the £30/50 mark and strong sorts with the same comments in the main £180/220 head, smart BBX bulls im told were around the £220 mark.
Great demand for all classes of stock so get them prmt tested and in the market

told you i was only the warm up act lol ,
can quite see a good store trade , grass is starting to wake up , empty stores and warehouses in europe may need help filling in a few months , though bankruptcy could be a worry for exporters .
when whole europe is through the worse could be party / bbq time . and a boost for local seaside resorts .
collective letter from all british beef farmers.So no individual has to put thier name to it. Wonder which industry union could do that.Let me think.!!!!!!!!

Just sent a load of Holstein fresian Bulls 12-15 month. My buyer bid me £3.10 straight through, not had above £3 for dairy Bulls for at least 12 months. Says the steak job is bolloxed but he can't get enough mince to meet demand. Every cloud and all that!
Market drayton had a fair trade on them last wednesday too
