STORE CATTLE

Junction 36: Where store cattle shine every time

Another standout day at J36, where the store cattle trade continues to set the bar sky high. Vendors once again reaped the rewards of bringing stock to a market that delivers sale in, sale out.

The same good home had a further two bullocks at £2440 and £2400. Stab steers hit £2140 from Tony Booth while Messrs Hodgson of Howriggs sold bullocks up to £2090 at just 12months of age.

The same home had a BB heifer at the same money.

A good show of feeding bulls forward were also met with a sparkling trade topping at £1980 from S Bosworth for a BB. Messrs Rogerson also had a nice run of bulls in with one of their BB selling for £1960 at just 10m. TW Gorst then sold a cracking Limousin bull even younger at 9m for £1880.
