Young Bulls - 222 averaged 162.92p A massive entry of young bulls on offer today as the Spring 2013 born crop really gets underway.

The top end quality was excellent although some smart bred bulls were being sold well before time as producers are very conscious of the 16 month ruling at many Abattoirs and not getting them too big!!

Trade today was exceptionally sticky with many buyers full from sales earlier in the week and slow sales of meat.

Trade today was back on the week by anything up to 15p per kilo.

The Friesians were less affected and many over 16 month bulls still fairing much better than they would deadweight as they would be paid as cow price!!

Top bulls today were consigned by Rachel and Doug Gascoine and Jeff Comer, Swindon who both sold Limousins to 208.5p - £1276.02 and £1132.16 respectively.
