Leek Market Report

Trade much bouncier this week despite the lack of quality forward.

Topping the day was Edward & Diane Bennett at £1960 with other More third quality heifers in the £1300 – £1600 bracket.

More quality definitely needed to satisfy the current demand. Many buyers in attendance went home empty handed.
