Forward – 150 head Cattle; 19 Goats; 235 lots of Poultry & Equipment; 114 lots of Furniture; 503 lots of reclaim/salvage & 516 lots of Machinery; Another busy Monthly Livestock Sale at Skipton as the Stirk and Weaned calf section goes from strength to strength. Plenty of interest in all classes of cattle with 45 separate vendors and purchasers successful on the day.
The machinery and reclaim sections were well supported and some good prices seen, especially for seasonal items of sheep related implements, pennage and feeders. The Craven Premier Poultry Auction had a top price of £100 for a trio of White Wyandottes from David Pownall.
