Cattle sales at Malton

Paul and I took the opportunity to join with the local farmers at the weekly cattle market. The bulls were first judged and  awarded prizes then, wearing their merit badges and ranking numbers they were lined up in the corral, first to be weighed then paraded...with the onloookers silently nodding their bids.
The red glowing digits record the weght of the animal and the bids are in pence/kilo.
The beasts sold for up to $2300 each....to the happy butchers around the ring.
