are back confirming for the Royal Highland Show and the Great Yorkshire Show,
so I need to get myself in gear: settle on a firm show team for the Suffolks
and crack on with getting them show fit.
South Devons saw a
solid trade at Exeter mart, with bull prices topping at 5,400gns. The Mart's
the Heart sale of Herefords at Hereford mart saw a 75 per cent clearance rate
and bull trade topped at 6,600gns. Plenty of grass about also seems to be
helping the store cattle trade which is on fire - auctioneers at Wooler
reported their best ever trade at the Mart's the Heart sale on Tuesday and it
seems to be the same in other marts.
Plenty
of spring lambs about now and trade seems good as the hoggs begin to tail off.
Prime cattle numbers were down at the beginning of the week, probably as a
result of the approaching Bank Holiday, but it's helped push prices up a bit.

Have a lovely Easter.
