I usually go every year just to top up after buying some privately, due to corvid I gave it a miss, for anyone who did go, what was the trade like? Is there a somewhere to give me a comparison to last years prices?

Didn't go myself (not been in the market since Christmas). But got this off the website.

Report from last year; "Averages for the bulls and heifers were up £42 and £21 respectively, with the steers seeing a small drop of £11 on the year" . Bulls avg £686 for 177. Steers avg £712 for 240. Heifers avg £621 for 314.
