Store Cattle –Forward

Another full yard of cattle for our Continental sale. We look forward to another 400 next week. Trade today

was a little harder to follow, cattle likely to exceed 400kgs carcass weight met a subsidised trade as did the

colder cattle.

£1140.00 and Blonde X £1130.00 all at 18/20 months. M/s R E Greaves and Son sold their usual quality

Limousin to £1135.00 at 14 months with others at £1065.00 and £1038.00. Simmental X South Devon sold

to £1130.00 and £1100.00 from Oxenford Farms.

Mrs C Long sold her Simmental X Steers to £1100.00 and Blondes to £1078.00.

The best of the Aberdeen Angus were sold by Sally and Charlie Beaman at £1055.00.

Younger steers topped at £1038.00 at 11 months for Charolais X from the Burbage consignment. M/s Long

sold at £950.00, who also sold a wonderful pair of Blonde X heifers at £1105.00. David Mansbridge topped
