Notes








STORE CATTLE & CALVES (322)

A very, very good entry attacted fresh faces at Norwich, resulting in high prices for all categories. If anything, even firmer than the last market.
Many people will attempt to use less energy from now on, but you cannot do without food - which comes from shops apparently
