Caz Graham is at Borderway Livestock market in Carlisle, to see the return of live prime pedigree bull sales after 2020鈥檚 key spring sales were online-only because of lockdown. There鈥檚 excitement amongst sellers and buyers from all over the UK, with 120 limousin beef bulls up for sale in the flesh as well as on screen. But Covid may have changed livestock markets for good. Lockdown has accelerated advances in online selling, and in future this is likely to be an important part of the way big markets operate. Caz meets buyers, sellers and auctioneers - and asks how they feel about this new future. Could sales like this one be consigned to the history books, with everything done online? Or will they always have a part to play in livestock farming?
