Cardigan mart - August 16th

J. J. Morris report a moderate entry of exceptional quality stock on offer on Monday 16th.

The high standard on offer reaulted in a very brisk trade for all types with the top priced Store Cattle exceeding £800. Dairy Cows were equally fast while Rearing Bull Calves were somewhat slower, coinciding with the new time limits for claiming support payments, as expected.

The next similar sale will be held on Monday September 6th. Entries in the meantime to J. J. Morris Auctioneers.
