CCM Auctions had 581 head of cattle forward for their fortnightly sale at Skipton on Wednesday. Trade for bulls was slightly harder going than the previous sale although the overall quality would also not be as good. In the Store section, cattle were generally a shade younger, but some quality annual consignments of yearling heifers from Messrs Keighley, Leathley and Messrs Taylor, Cumberworth created considerable interest at the ringside and sold well. Grazing cattle of all types were also in strong demand, defying the thoughts that these would be cheaper
