Steady as she goes but some Friesians sell better this week

Like a ship making to port, mart reports this week seem to indicate a “steady as she goes” approach.

With numbers possibly easier in places, prices are broadly reported as “similar to good” for quality continental types, with Angus and Herefords seeing a lift.

The trade for the better Friesian animal has steadied, with some marts reporting a marked improvement in demand for these types.
