22nd August 2009

MARKET REPORT
32 Suckler Cows, Calves and Bulls

Our first sale of pedigree Herefords for the S.W.H.A. drew plenty of interest and resulted in a good trade for females but a very selective trade for bulls.
A combined cow and calf unit from Mrs M M Williams of Helston Cornwall realised 1530gns. The 2003 born cow sold at 920 gns and her October born heifer calf at 610gns.
Other units to 1080gns for a 2006 born cow with her March (09) born steer calf from Mr I Tucker of Glastonbury.
2 year old in calf heifer to 1300gns and 1200gns Mr Patchett, Westbury, Wilts.
Yearling heifers to 1050gns from Mrs I J  Jennings.
