Cast Cows & OTM

A small and poorer show of cast cows this week with a larger number of leaner, older types forward. Trade however just as dear, maybe even a touch sharper once again, leaving vendors feeling full of love and joy with their days trading.

A Charolais cross cow from Mr F T Walton, Flotterton took all the attention and sold to 277.5ppk.

Life is like a box of Chocolates for Messrs R English & son, Brownsleazes when it comes to selling cows on a Tuesday. A well fleshed Limousin cross cow from this home went on to realise £2170.65

Beef Shorthorn cows from Mr J C Oliver, East Farm also felt the love selling to a £2022.75.

Making the first trip down the A1 with cows to Hexham was H Tulip & Son, Bilton Farm, Alnwick who sold well fleshed Blue cross cows to £1960.10.

Cupid struck his match with Ayshire cows from Messrs GG Baynes & Son, Marley Cote Walls, cashed away at 201.5ppk and grossing to £1293.75.

Plenty leaner, feeding types cashing between 185-190ppk.  More cows could have easily been sold.
