Cattle Sale

Improved cattle trade brings positivity to the Market
Orkney”s Special Sale following the “Show” weekend tends to set a bench-mark for the Autumn Store cattle trade and, following some very despondent press releases from other Markets, it was with some apprehension that local farmers arrived to see their cattle sold, however trade, especially for forward type Store cattle, was brisk, and most farmers left with smiles on their faces and more pounds “in their pockets” than they had hoped for. Orkney has a strong force of buyers who fly up to buy Store cattle and their enthusiasm to bid was evident on Monday. With an improved trade on recent sales South, indications are that our “back-end” trade may be much better than recently anticipated.
