I don't often get much info on organic sales, but it seems interest is exceeding expectations at Frome.
An entry of 300 organic store cattle yesterday saw buyers attend from all over the UK.
While strong demand is for the best suckler bred beef, quality dairy bred stores found a marvellous trade. Charolais steers in the region of 8-10 months old from D Newman sold to £590 while Limousin x South Devons (12-16mo) from G R White sold to £762.
Hard Aberdeen Angus 11 month old steers from Turnstone Farming sold at £595. Older cattle were wanted by all with Belgian Blue steers selling to £870 from Derek Mead with strong heifers making £710, £705 and £680.
