demand for this breed at the moment. Quality needs to be good to get the

suckled steers and heifers at £840 & £760 respectively, then their 21mo steers
at £1170! Then came CF & AM Martin with a consignment of wonderfully grown
Angus steers, which saw 13mo at £1065, 17mo £1180 and 21mo at £1222!!

forget our motto “sell live and thrive”.
