Prime sale
Good numbers of cattle and sheep continued to sell well in the rain on Monday.
In contrast to much of the year there were 42 cattle on offer. The best of a big yarding of 1051 lambs was in good demand but others were hard work for auctioneers.
The cattle were mostly heavy cows which sold well.
The ewe yarding numbered about 700. They also sold well although one line was passed in.
