Very good attendance of feeding bull buyers for a good entry comprising a number of first draws of weaned 2016 calves. Trade was strong with 154 of the 166 total entry under 12 months old averaging £936.36. 12 bulls aged from 12-17 months averaged £962. Buyers intend to attend the sale on Wednesday 21^st December and entries are required.

A mixed show of bullocks were easily sold, mainly being slightly dearer than the previous fortnight. Smart cattle were a very good trade especially the younger end.
