The two older heifers looked quite good, 3-4 months in calf. (£290 each). Two short legged heifers (£250 each). Three non-short heifers (£170 each). The non-shorts are very leggy and a bit lean looking, no rounded, waddly show cattle I'm afraid!. I bought the three non-shorts, one of which is the daughter of Needles Hall Poppy. The steers were all sold together for £200 each which I thought was quite a fair price.
