There were very good numbers on offer at this week’s sale which included a fine display of excellent quality Bullocks. There was a good demand for all types of stock with plenty of customers present including buyers from Northern Ireland. With the good spell of weather and better grass growth farmers were more anxious for stock. The trade for Bullocks was improved from the previous week resulting in a very strong clearance of lots. There was no significant change in the Heifer and Dry Cow trade. Special sale of Heifers Friday April 24th – 60 Pens on offer, also Bullocks & Dry Cows.
