Comprising: 187 Young Feeding Bulls & 317 Bullocks & Heifers.
CCM Auctions held their fortnightly Cattle Sale at Skipton on Wednesday where an entry of 504 head was presented for sale.
Feeding Bull buyers were catching up with arable fieldwork and a few spaces around the ring. Bull trade slightly easier on the fortnight but again premium and strong bulls in short supply.
The Store Cattle section included the Special Spring Show & Sale of Continental Bullocks & Heifers which was very kindly judged by Mr Ian Swales from Goole. A nice entry of show cattle produced an overall champion from the British Bkue Heifer class, consigned by Mr Fred Saunders of Ulverston, the heifer went on to sell for £1340 to Mr JM Townsend of Laneshawbridge. Reserve Champion honours were awarded to Richard & Wendy Maudsley from Rathmell, with their British Blue Bullock prepared and shown by daughter Bethany. Later going to onto sell for £1240 to Mr J Burrow, Kirkby Malham.
