The onset of the warmer weather has contributed to the increased flow of cattle into the AuctionsPlus commercial cattle sales for Friday 29th October. With 18,160 head catalogued for sale, and over 14,000 head in the two Weaner and Yearling auctions, it should prove to be another good test of the buyer sentiment in the market as the physical markets hit new highs again this week.
