Craven Dairy Auction (28 head)

A small show of newly calven cattle with 12 forward, plenty of buyers up to and around the £2000 mark but few to push on past. All met a good trade but no exceptional prices today. Incalf heifers were out in force today with a 16 strong entry. Both vendors received a strong trade for the good stamp of stock that they brought with incalf cattle averaging £1640.
