Does anyone have the prices for the dexters sold last week, unfortunately I had visitors so was not able to go. I'm interested in the steers prices mainly, but it would be nice to know what prices generally where.

I have been told a young bull made £960, and a 3 year old bull made £600, rest of prices were usual York averages for dexters. I don't have the official stats.
