CALVES & WEANLINGS

The weekly sale of calves and weanlings saw a mixed entry forward which were met with a mixed trade. The trade for good quality calves remains strong. The middle quality Continental bulls, heifers and native bulls remain in plenty of demand and regularly achieving £300 and more, with native heifers taking a drop as many more come out on to the market as many dairy herds are calving heifers.
