J. J. Morris report an increased entry of calves forward at Cardigan Mart on Monday, November 8th.
The vast majority were Friesian and Holstein bulls, which met a very poor demand, as calf numbers increase, and their confimation and size reduces.
However, the reduction of rearing calves on offer, met a very brisk trade, with farmers looking for the better types presented.
