What were the bids like - was it chaos at the show it was so big - anyone know what the Steinbacher Geese went for and the English Longhorn cattle? New and views please.

Sorry Goosepimple I'm not to keen on the poultry section - just can't follow what's going on, tried but failed and I did see the cattle but didn't write it down but I think the Longhorns went for about £500 but please don't quote me on that - I knew I should have put pen to paper from the start.

Hi Goosepimple, The Longhorns made £900.00 each the Kerry made £340.00 but never sold.The sheep prices were steady good made good and mediocre made mediocre money well pleased with our prices made the trip worthwhile
