Cast Cows & OTM
Another great trade witnessed in the Hexham cast ring, with trade once again a touch sharper with a leaner show on offer compared to last week and on average up 3ppk.
A sale average of £1261.04 and 182.5ppk leaves the competition behind and vendors happy with their days trading.
Taking the top two prices was Messrs J Lee & Sons, Agars Hill who sold Blue cross cows to 239.5ppk and Limousin cross cows to 229.5ppk.
Top grossing cow came from Colepike Home Farm, Lanchester, with an Angus cross realising £1777.50.
More cows needed on a weekly basis to satisfy demand.
