[QUOTE="Werzle, post: 6855808, member: 82364"] Markets are so much more than a place to do business, many farmers use them for a cooked meal, haircut, chat and to gain an idea of livestock value, so even if they do not buy or sell at market they have an idea of there stocks worth when selling on sites like SLM. Markets must be much like funerals at the moment with limits on people and upsetting for those staying away. Thankfully cattle prices have just about held up but we are lucky covid19 happened now in springtime when demand for stock is high, if it had happened late autumn it could have been a bloodbath of prices.
