Market Report for Thursday 22nd July 2010
The demand for prime cattle nationally still remains variable as the school holidays begin and the hot weather continues. However the total cattle average price for this Thursday of 141.73ppk is still above the local market competition (Melton Mowbray 129.30ppk, York 132.06ppk, Newark 139.80ppk, FWi 2010.)
Overall this week at Louth there was still a great demand for well finished heifers, steers and young bulls ranging from 500 – 650kgs. Please more cattle next week as buyers still have regular local orders to satisfy.
