ANGUS What a superb show of Angus forward here today! Topping the day up on the
podium were FJ Moody & Son whose belting 24mo steers ticked all the boxes to
£1480 with their heifers leading at £1345 and £1240. Regular supporters Lulworth
Castle were well rewarded with their 27mo steers a huge sell to £1370, £1267
and £1232. Why go anywhere else! A special mention to Mr D Gordge whose
cattle bought out of Frome as calves were a real credit to him seeing 24mo steers
to £1272 and £1185 with heifers to £1110. Bugler & Baileys Angus steers looked
well sold at £1122. Younger cattle in short supply but Ken & Neil Hayters 10mo

£615. Cattle in short supply nationally. Come to Frome to reap rewards for your
stock.
HEREFORD Herefords in short supply here today. A smart pen of 14mo suckler bred steers
from the Simmons family were well sold to £1020 and £910. 16mo heifers from
SN Ellis & Son looked exceptionally well sold to £700 and £545. A single 28mo
heifer from C & J Smart a huge £985. Herefords in tight supply; perhaps a
hangover from calf buying activity 2 years ago?
