WALLETS MARTS CASTLE DOUGLAS LIMITED
MONDAY 12 APRIL 2021
STORE CATTLE & OTM CATTLE
A good show of proper store cattle met the dearest trade for many years. With over 200 more cattle sold than the corresponding sale last year averages were outstanding with 600 steers averaging 259ppk and 267 heifers 252ppk and an overall average of 256.76ppk.
New and distant buyers made the journey to Castle Douglas and were not disappointed. Charolais steers sold to 362.1ppk from Messrs Davidson, Poldean and bought by a new buyer from Yorkshire. Heifers from the same home sold to 324.9ppk. Top per head was £1460 for an Angus bullock from Mid Farthingwell and £1350 for Charolais heifers from Shangan.
OTMs met a fantastic trade to average a marvellous 169.3ppk and were short of buyer’s requirements.
