FRIESIAN TO £140 FLECKVIEH £190 What a trade! Several comments that today’s Friesians would be the dearest in
some years! With over 10 calves over £100 we saw a roaring trade with rearing
sorts to £140 from Y Farms, with a quality run from the Newman’s of Salisbury
averaging a marvellous £127. An all in average of £93.15 shows what a trade
the small and medium calves were. More are needed to satisfy demand.
