Numbers back slightly on last week but still over 300 on offer. Definitely more of an appetite today especially for the more forward stock. Some very good HEX & FRX stock today. In the cull cow ring it was an even breakdown between dairy culls & continentals. Bullocks up 10c/kg and heifers up 20c/kg. Cull cows also improved by 10c/kg .
