Store and prime trade buoyant with cattle 5% tighter >More in © Tim Scrivener Store cattle vendors are taking advantage of a flying trade as finishers exercise bargaining power with processors during a period of tight cattle supply. Numbers of cattle aged 12-30 months were 5% (81,900-head) back on the year in January, according to UK British Cattle Movement Service estimates.
