£1085 (20mo), a marvellous trade for all. Good to see the Sherborne family

exhibiting quality goods seeing 16mo Limousin steers to a mighty £1290 with

their heifers to £1205 and £1155. Another quality Limousin heifer from Messrs

Gould sailed to £1170 (27mo). Another excellent consignment from Les & Tom

Rogers saw Limousin steers to £990 and £930 and Charolais heifers to £1050

and £930. 17mo Simmental steers from Petersham Farms soared to £1000 with

heifers to £1010. A smart Simmental steer from Martom Farms flew to £1065. A

truly outstanding trade, do keep them coming cattle are wanted here at Frome.
