Stock levels continued their strong start to the year on AuctionsPlus with the number of head listed crossing 20,000 this week. In 2023, with the exception of the penultimate sale in December, no single week crossed the 20,000-head mark. This week, volume rose 6% to total 20,585 although the higher offering did not receive widespread support to deliver a clearance of 56%. Based on last week's activity, expect lots of post-sale trade to take place.
