David Smith from Bents Farm took reserve Champion with his super bull which sold at £430 to Simon Thompson. Shaun Sowray saw his best the bulls make £450, £445 and £440 with Church Farm Enterprises at £420 and £405. 20 British Blue Bulls averaged £385. 

 

Limousin calves topped at £365 for a sweet bull from Stephen Marshall, West End with heifers topping at £380 for a cracking heifer from Sowray’s again. Black and Whites were a touch easier today with not the best show of calves around however best calves still up towards £100 and topping today at £95 for a strong Friesian type calf from RL Wright & Son.
