I’ve no word of an average from today, but reading the top prices against the prize list it certainly looks like the judge from this morning Ken Jones of the Garnedd herd, Wales, was right on the money with his placings. Our ringside spy reported a few sticky patches in the sale, but overall it has been a very solid trade for the bulls on offer.
