Another day for “Rock and Roll” in the store ring! Great to see close to 600
quality stores penned for sale, with plenty of demand throughout the day.
YOUNG CONTINENTAL The day started with two super Pedigree young Saler Bulls (10mo) from S & S
Thorne making the trip up from Hampshire these were in hot demand and topped
at £870! 12mo Simmentals out of British Friesian cows from KJ Withers saw their
steers at £825 & heifers at £795! Hard Simmentals from the Ridewood family
were so easily sold as buyers very much wanting these good types with their
10mo steers at £792 and heifers at £612. An outstanding annual consignment of
50 home bred single suckled Limousin x South Devon steers and heifers from
James & Peter Corp (12mo) were on fire with pen after pen of steers at £1020,
£1015, £980, £952 & £950! Heifers from the same home saw just as enthusiastic
bidding with pens at £875, £860 & £855! Dairy crosses equally as dear as other
weeks and a lovely entry of 15mo British Blue steers and heifers from Andrew
Snook, Nunney, commanded great interest and prices at £1030 & £925
respectively. Dairy x Simmental steers 15mo from the same home “wizzed” along
to finally settle at £1065! More good Dairy x Blues from regular supporter Nigel
Doman & family were close behind with steers at £1025 and heifers at £915. More
best quality single suckled steers and heifers could have been very well sold
again today. As the finished trade seems firmly set the prices look to remain at
current levels for a day or two yet, so “make hay while the sun shines” and take
advantage of this tremendous trade. Shut with Tb………………don’t, panic, trade
for those in the Orange market is outstanding too!! It is certainly a case of “sell
live and thrive”!!!

who saw 18 - 19mo Blue steers to £1195, with exceptional Simmental steers to
a mighty £1240 and Limousin heifers to £955. Good to see Nigel Masters here
again whose Blue heifers charged to £1145 and £1050. Good to see market
stalwart Jackie Dacombe here whose Simmental steer soared to £1100 (25mo).
An exceptional 24mo heifer from the Hedges family soared to £1240. Many
comments today regarding the cattle just getting dearer here at Frome. Now is
the time to sell!

Its great to be back with you ! Reflection and prayer Some days have been
dark and painful yet new possibilities have been
found if we look for love and hope in the smalls

crocuses and dandelions. We will find kindness
to spare and beauty from our very human hearts
as we remain connected, though we are so
often on our own and apart .
Heavenly Father, as we begin to enjoy time
together in this Spring weather , we pray for new
growth both on our farms and hope in us this Easter season. After 100 days since
Brexit we pray for both our farmers and DEFRA who are facing major challenges
with imports and exports of products. We ask you
to give us confidence in all that we produce
knowing it is the very best in the world. Give us
pride in all we doing our agricultural husbandry
and production. Amen
