There’s too many calves going through Drayton now it’s not good for the seller... know a few people started taking them too leak because there’s too many in Drayton
Unfortunately I think it is the other way around, week before only 70 calves in leek, last week 140. Buyers travelling long distances to buy At Drayton as they are getting over 600 calves from an increasingly wide area.
The good thing about Leek calves is that they tend to be better bred, from smaller herds/ more Frisian type. At moments a large number of Grass Rat types in Drayton, buyer beware !
