Prime-stock sales were disrupted this week as a result of Christmas Day falling on a Tuesday.
John Swan held their weekly sale in St Boswells on Friday last week, instead of the customary Monday.
The 22 prime bullocks forward sold to 230p per kg and averaged 209p (-2.8p on the week), while 20 prime heifers peaked at 230p and levelled at 217.1p (+5.9p).
