SONS LIVESTOCK MARKETS WARWICK WEEK ENDING

Lighter numbers were the norm as we move further into the winter period. Cattle numbers saw 715 head meet the market with Sheep and Lamb numbers coming in at 1860 head. The poultry and pork sections saw increases in their numbers for the weekly sale. Most of the livestock prices are in a slump from the highs achieved when numbers were lacking and values pushed up, but the good, fnished articles are slowly stemming the falls seen. There has also been some movement for replacement stock, not in vast numbers but pleasing to see buyers looking to upgrade.
