Firm store trade in marts

It has been the first week of significant increase in the throughput at the marts with marts reporting an increase in the number of farmers buying medium weight and forward store animals in preparation for the coming grass, with turnout in some of the early grass area expected within a few weeks — conditional on favourable weather.
