LIVESTOCK MARKETS WARWICK SALES W/E

10/03/2023

Market numbers were similar to last week with cattle numbers reaching 1185 head and Sheep and Lamb numbers reaching 1751 head. The markets were on a par as far as prices were concerned with both markets falling slightly on last week’s sales. The stock presented for sale if they were not showing any signs of suffering from the dry seasonal run were on a par with previous weeks. The heavy steer and feed on steers were bearing the brunt of the falls, lighter trade cattle if they were of good type and fnish were still in demand. Lambs were still frm for the heavier export weight lambs , mutton and hoggets were frm for the top end , light mutton and lambs was cheaper all round.

Vealer steers averaged 392.7c/kg topping at 442.2c/kg or
