[QUOTE="gone up the hill, post: 4062696, member: 1048"] (y) Store cattle a trade of two halves.... Well grown Fri steers were off the clock and more demand for them than just about anything else in the store ring, heavy well bred/ farmed Contx steers were still a good trade thou would be back £30/50 head on the week, anything out of spec/ small for its age was the cheapest they have been since pre xmas 16, trade for this type of cattle took a heavy fall on last week and many cattle would be £100+ head cheaper than last week, most of these cattle would have been best sold in the stirk ring, for example some super smart 15 month old Devon Heifers made £520 head, a super HB BBX 8 month old heifer only made £610, the latter would easily have made £720 in the stirk ring today. Didn't see any stirks sold due to technical issues.... :ROFLMAO: Store lambs were a mental trade,even local large scale fhinsher [USER=6080]@farmerclare[/USER] commented on what a dear trade it was! very small lambs that would have been £45 last season were £55/60 head today, medium keep lambs were around the £65/70+ mark, hell of a crowd around the ring side yet again. Calves were a much easier trade also. top end BBX bulls around the £350/370 mark.. Sell live to thrive(y) [/QUOTE]
