WEANED CATTLE : A much smaller show of weaned cattle were forward with a quieter ringside of buyers.  Stronger cattle were very easily sold but grazing cattle were a lot harder to cash due to shortage of grass.  Top price on the day was met twice, both from Messrs Knight, Stephney Farm, Seascale selling 2 Limousin bulls at £1290 with another west Cumbria vendor making the most of the buoyant bull trade, Messrs Palmer, Grange Farm, Flimby selling a Limousin bull at a very respectable £1200.  Stronger cattle were well sold with a great run of cattle from Messrs Cadzow topping both sections with a pen of 3 Simmental x heifers at £1105 and a pen of 4 bullocks selling for £1090.
