Rearing Calves to £500
B&W av £60.74 Cont av £374 Native av £216.31
Spring calf show and what a trade shame we just didn’t have more calves through the door. Pre Sale Champion went to a tremendous suckler bred limousin heifer from D&J Carlisle of Cracoe which sold for the top price of £500. The Reserve Champion a cracker of a bull from regular vendor Shaun Sowray of Sowray Bros, Bishop Thornton reached £440 with all his bulls averaging £433. Limousin bulls saw a strong trade with both Hayton & Stocks and Sowray Bros breaking £400 at £460 and £420 respectively. However it’s the heifers which seem to be dearer than any other centres at the minute with British Blues on average £40-£60/ head above that of other centres with 11 British blue heifers averaging £338.
A small selection of black and whites sold away to expectations however the native calves again commanded a healthy trade with Aberdeen Angus bulls averaging £262 and mixed show of heifers averaging £180 . Calves continue to be in strong demand please do not hesitate to contact if you are interested. 01756 792375
