These animals, distinguished by their hardiness, adaptability, and excellent feed conversion efficiency, are highly sought after in the cattle market.

To cap off the month, the Mart has scheduled a Show & Sale for Charolais and Other Breed Autumn Born Weanlings on Thursday, 31st August. The Charolais breed, known for its quick growth, lean meat and high dressing percentage, will be showcased along with various other breeds, ensuring a wide variety of weanlings for prospective buyers.
