Feeding Bulls – these were an exceptional trade aided by a full complement of buyers from all over the north and midlands. The best strong continentals were £1100+ and the overall average of £953 includes a larger than usual entry of grazing bulls which were a very good trade.

Feeding Cows – with keep and a rising finished price the feeding cows mirrored the feeding bulls with an exceptional trade. Plenty of first cross beef cows at £900+ with improvement and ¾ beef cows or cattle to turn away to grass equally strong.

Stores –

The older feeding cattle selling nicely today, with finishers buoyed by a generally stronger prime trade as live marts report recent increased entries and averages too, with processors having to follow suit and raise their quotes as well. Several smart runs of older cattle achieving £1150 to £1300, JG Hall & Son Gargrave topping with a Limousin Heifer at £1300, closely followed by JR&DL Ogden, Austwick at £1295 and Ellis Bros, Addingham Moorside at £1240. Other good beef bred types £1050 plus, and the older beef dairy cross heifers mid £900’s to around £1050. Stronger Steers were also in better form, with decent 18/22mo types either side of £1100 for grazing, the next grade at £1040 to £1080.

Younger grazing cattle a strong trade with active purchasers filling spaces up in the ring! Same story as previous weeks with Good R+U Grade cattle from 7-15 months getting away very well with some out of spec O Grades with a lot of fat on still a good trade but lacking the premiums paid for the U’s and R’s!
