Sussex Advertiser: Tuesday 9th January 1855

Agriculture: Agricultural Sales and Markets: A few days ago, a very important sale shorthorn cattle, &c, took place at the seat of Mr. Pinsent, Greenhill, Devonshire, who was compelled to relinquish an admirably conducted farm in consequence of indisposition, a number of breeders from all parts the county were present, and the cattle fetched high prices. For instance, a splendid cow, six months gone in calf, named “Gay Lass,” fetched 75 guineas, and was purchased by a gentleman of Ashburton.  A yearling heifer out of the above animal was sold at £20, and other prime beasts fetched similar high prices. The prices of animal food in the markets of the West continue high and prove very remunerative to the agriculturists. At Newton market fat bullocks sold, on the last market-day, at 60s per cwt.; cows and calves, 56s to 60s; pigs, 9s. 6d. to 10s. per score. At Crediton cattle-market fat beasts sold at 11s. per score; cows and calves, £13 to £14. At Exeter, Tiverton, Totnes, and other Devonshire markets similar prices were given.
