Vendors should seriously consider selling now and take advantage of the buoyant trade rather than wait to the autumn when prices may well ease. A tremendous 24 month British Blue steer the property of Paul Hendy of Kingsbridge reached the top price on the day of Younger Blues from the same South Devon farm to 1175 and 20 month Friesian bullocks to 965. An entry of twenty four forward cattle from Derek Pyle of Clyst Honiton all around 2 years old saw Blonde steers to 1290, Blue steers to 1225 and Simmentals to 1090, with Blue heifers from the same consignor to A further entry of twelve cattle again 2 years old from Cyril Emmett of Aylesbeare sold well with Blue steers to 1285, others 1230 and Charolais steers to 1215, Simmental steers to 1140 and an exceptional meat heifer of the same breed to A consignment of twenty two good strong stores from Lynden Downs of Christow saw 21 month Blue steers to 1100 and heifers to 1000 while Angus heifers sold to 845.

Angus cows with single suckled heifer calves at foot to 1180 and 1160 for EWH Hendy & Partners of Plymouth. Younger cattle still a very strong trade with no shortage of prospective buyers in attendance. Most expensive of the day came from Ian Pincombe of Kennerleigh as all looked on in amazement as a bunch of three Charolais steers at just 3 months of age sold for 615 a head, there was further disbelief when they were followed by a trio of heifers of the same breed and age which were knocked down for 620 each. Older steers saw a high of 920 for well grown young suckler bred Limousin s from Michael Weeks of Kennford whilst heifers with the same comments from Michael rose to 710 for a pair.
