I've just had a wander around the ringside at the start of the Limousin showing this morning - quite a sparse crowd compared to the last two days. The mood seems to suggest the fireworks will be seen next week at Carlisle, rather than at today's fixture.
A lot of bulls are still yet to be seen in the show ring, but as yet, there doesn't appear to be a specific favourite ringside.There's 86 animals forward, after a number were rejected at the inspection last night.
We'll keep an ear to the ground to see if the mood changes as more bulls make it out into the ring....

Visitors to the Perth Bull sales not only witnessed a new individual Shorthorn breed record, but also a new breed average record..
In all, a total of 71 out of the 79 bulls put forward went under the hammer, with the breed average up £354 on the same time last year to £4,991.
And the Shorthorn Society's Frank Milnes puts much of the breed's renaissance and flying trade down to the Morrisons premium which has seen demand for the breed grow among commercial beef producers.
"This is the most bulls we've sold since the nineteen sixties. It's been a great sale with one or two breeders looking for new stock bulls, but also a lot of demand from commercial producers and new buyers," he said.
Falling not far behind this new breed record of 15,000gns, at 13,000gns, was Harry Horrell's Podehole Drummer (lot 412). A son of Trojan of Craigeassie and out of Podehole Madeline Tiffany, this one has a TSI of +17 and a SRI of +15. He was snapped up by M D McMillan, Moneydie Roger Farm, Perth.
There were also two bulls selling at 10,000gns. Up first was The Hon. G. Turton's Dakota of Upsall (lot 461 above); a son of Broughton Park Thunder and out of Upsall Jilt, this one has a TSI of +17 and a SRI of +21, and was bought by John Scott at Fearn Farm, Tain.
The second bull to hit 10,000gns was another Major J.P.O. Gibb's Glenisla Dam Buster (lot 465).
This one is by Glenilsa Badendum and out of Glenisla Eva Broadhooks. It boasts a TSI of +25 and a SRI of +22, and was bought by Dorset-based breeder A Cooper.
Meanwhile, the female champion Chapelton Duke (lot 404), another one from Donald Biggar, sold for 8,500gns to Alvie Estates, Kelso. This one is by Chapelton Typhoon and out of Chapelton Duchess, and has a TSI of +36 and a SRI of +28.
While the reserve, Blelack Major (lot 422) from Mr G Massie & Sons, sold for 7,000gns to Playfair Farms, Kelso. This one is by Blelack Secret Service and out of Blelack Mavis, and has a TSI of +13 and a SRI of +11.

Here on day two of the Perth Bull Sales 2012, the breed record has been smashed for a Beef Shorthorn bull from Donald Biggar.
Going under the hammer at United Auctions for 15,000gns was Chapelton Dauphin 3328 (lot 406) from Donald Biggar, selling to Mrs Jane Landers for her Cairnsmore herd.
This one is by Chapelton Dauphin and out of Chapelton Nettle 214, and has a TSI of +19 and a SRI of +19. He comes from the bloodlines of two of the breed's most influential bulls - Tofts Romany and Chapelton Typhoon.
Commenting on the purchase, Mrs Landers said: "I bought him to be our new stock bull; he was one of a couple of bulls I had my eye on from the start and I went for him because he is fleshy and looks as though he would breed easy fleshing animals. He carries himself well.
"I hope he will be a good investment. The first expensive bull I got I paid 11,000gns for, and he was a record price back then, but his first sons sold for 5,500gns and 6,500gns so he paid for himself quickly."
