CORRIN MART REPORT
Marginally smaller numbers of cattle on offer this week. The softer weather certainly continued the upward trend to the trade with all cattle meeting an extremely strong trade throughout.
There were a large number of customers available to bid for every lot. Hopefully there will be plenty of cattle on offer over the next few weeks to satisfy the super demand from all over the country that we expect to have here in Corrin mart.
