[QUOTE="gone up the hill, post: 5602424, member: 1048"] Sedgemoor today.. Hmm:scratchhead::scratchhead: okay the positives.. Store lambs, Yet again a short entry of mixed quality lambs sold to a much smaller crowd of buyers thou trade would only be back a £ or two for medium keep lambs. Most store cattle found new homes... Stirks, some super runs of cattle in selling to a packed crowd of buyers, bottom end cattle would be slightly up on the week but suckler bred animals down around the £50/ head mark, given the information below all cattle in this ring were selling very well. Okay the negatives............................................................................................. Store cattle Again a small entry of only some 900 head was mainly made up of cattle that are showing the effects of the extreme summer weather saw a trade selling to new lows and would be a worse trade than seen at any market so far in 2018 at the Sedgemoor National livestock centre, the heaviest /stronger feeding cattle saw the biggest drop on the week with their trade down some £100 head on last week and it would take a special animal to reach anywhere near £1000 head, plenty of plain but farming native heifers around the 20 month mark trading anywhere from sub £500 head to just over the £600 head mark, they would at a guess be around the 450 kilo mark! a usefull run of strong native bred steers around the 650/700 kilo mark and around the 5 year old mark sold very well to a top of £595 head. Calves, Trade was all but a disaster for sellers and trade was below the floor is how it can only be described, the worst trade since easily the 1980's with very strong Char x heifers around the £120 mark and top end Char bull's £220/250 mark ( these calves wold have been £100 head more 12 months ago, top end BB bulls around the £250/280 mark generally ( would have been £370+ 12 months ago. Sell live to thrive:) [/QUOTE]
