Wallets Marts Castle Douglas Limited held their fortnightly sale of Store, Breeding and OTM Cattle on Monday 7^th November, 2016 when they sold 283 Cattle.

A small show of breeding cattle sold to £1200 for AA/Fries in calf heifers from Messrs Ritchie, Fardingjames, Auldgirth.

54 OTM Cattle once again met a strong trade with plenty of competition round the ringside.  Topping the trade at 178ppk was a Simmental overage heifer from Palmallet Farms.  Overage bullocks sold to 155ppkg for Galloways from Craigenputtock, Dunscore whilst cast cows topped at 131ppkg for a Simmental cross from Palmallet.  Bulls sold to 152ppkg for a Belted Galloway from Glen Farming Co.  Overall averages levelled at 109.98p.
