Forward: 366 head of cattle
Comprising: 110 Young Feeding Bulls, 194 Bullocks & Heifers, 1 Feeding Cow & 61 Breeding Cattle
At Skipton Mart on Wednesday, CCM Auctions conducted their fortnightly sale of Store & Breeding Cattle where a useful entry was presented to a very keen ringside of buyers. Young Bulls easily up kept the rates of last sale, with the premium types being a shade dearer.
Bullocks and Heifers although forward in decent number for the time of year were still way short of the requirements of buyers at the ringside, yearling cattle again looking particularly good to sell.
NEXT SALE – WEDNESDAY 8th JULY 2015.
400 HEAD comprising 120 Young Bulls and 230 Bullocks and Heifers and 50 Breeding Cattle
Advance entries of breeding cattle already inc 1 Pedigree Hereford Stock Bull, 10 British Blue Cows with BB Calves at foot (Cows RWB from 15th May), 5 Angus Cows & Heifers with BB Calves at Foot.
Entries to Mart Office by 4pm Wed 1st July
