OTM & STORE CATTLE SALE
Wallets Marts Castle Douglas Limited held first sale for 2016 of OTM and Store Cattle.
Due to adverse weather conditions many lots entered could not get out of the farm
roads which resulted in a very small turnout of stock forward. However those that were
able to make it were well rewarded.
Topping the store cattle section at £840 were a pair of Limousin cross heifers consigned
by H & N Armstrong, Farhills which sold to W J Henderson & Son, Carswadda, Beeswing.
Top price per kg in the heifer section was 212.2p again for Limousin heifers from Farhills
selling to R Neill, Upper Tinwald. Limousin bullocks from Farhills topped at £820 or
220.4p selling to Kingan Farms, Lochhill, New Abbey.
OTM Cattle were also easily sold topping at 125p per kg or £921.58 for an Aberdeen
Angus from Culnaightrie. Next up at £921.06 was another Aberdeen Angus, this time
from Corra, Castle Douglas. Overall average levelled at 109.21p or £723.73.
