We’ve
had a house guest, in the shape of a piglet that wasn’t looking 100 per cent.
We’ve named her Petal and she’s rallying like you wouldn’t believe. The dogs
aren’t too keen on sharing their spot in front of the Aga however!
There were some
serious prices for spring show commercial made this past week at Thainstone,
with a record breaking price of £9,000 for a 10-month-old Limousin cross
heifer, and store cattle in general still seem to be a flying trade everywhere,
even though the prime trade is not great.
Sadly
at the weekend it was the last pedigree sale at Chelford before the market
closes, with Blues selling to 5,000gns.
Best prime lambs are
still a decent trade but there are still a lot of heavy hoggs coming forward,
which is depressing averages at some markets. Store cattle are still a flying
trade.
