Another decent entry with perhaps a fewer best sorts on offer that met a decent trade
throughout the morning. Friesian bull calves continue to be more difficult to sell but
any shaped sorts still £80+ and topping at £115.
Native Breeds continue to be wanted with heifers particularly well sold even if at less
money than a fortnight or so ago. DJ & NJ Wall topped the Continental bulls again
with a Belgian Blue at £430, a Blue heifer from F G Smith & Sons at £332. Weaned
calves sold to £458 for a Blonde steer from Thomas Gaden.
