More Needed to Satisfy Demand!!

Another swift trade for the milkers on Tuesday saw all classes and breeds well sought after.

Topping the day was a 28kg heifer from regular vendor Andrew Mills of Ratcliffe on Wreake at £2120. He also saw his British Friesian heifer reach £1840.

Cows were equally in demand with a second calver from Brian Needham reaching £2080 and a third calver from the same home at £2040.

All milkers averaged a very healthy £1591.

A powerful Limousin stock bull from the Hardy family of Cauldon Lowe created great interest with the hammer eventually dropping at £2780.
