The majority of purchasers had no idea or conception about genetics and data. They did not know the exact value of the animals. As a result the majority sold for floor price and some even had a "no sale". People that stated they would be there did not turn up. This was a buyers market.
We, at Codan Suffolks, enjoyed the event but would probably not enter again for two reasons. One the very low value paid for al these exceptional performance animals and the 16 hour trip to be there.
