STORE & BREEDING CATTLE - WEDNESDAY 25TH OCTOBER 2017

SKIPTON AUCTION MART MARKET REPORT – WEDNESDAY 25th OCTOBER 2017 Fortnightly Sale of Young Feeding Bulls, Store Bullocks & Heifers, Breeding Cattle Forward: 368 head of cattle Comprising: 101 Young Feeding Bulls, 27 Beef Feeding Cows, 222 Bullocks & Heifers, & 18 Breeding Cattle. A high percentage of 2017 born bull calves in today’s sale. Stronger 2017 suckled bulls got away well with the remnants of the 2016 crop to buyers looking for cattle to go straight to feed. An average of £783.50 for bulls under 12months is slightly deceptive as most of these were born June 2017 onwards, these young types finding a ready audience at £500-£650. Stronger bulls saw some high prices as noted below. Feeding cows were a very seasonal entry of leaner types, but trade was good for all classes with an overall average of £709, topping at £1,250. Store Cattle saw all extremes penned for sale, anything a bit smarter and in forward condition sold away quickly with customers keen, stronger and older types were a decent trade, and smart end of young cattle were better to sell, but anything a bit plainer was a similar trade.

DAIRY & CALVES - MONDAY 23RD OCTOBER 2017

Autumn Calf show saw a strong turnout of both vendors and buyers with 124 calves through the door. The Champion calf from Sowray Brothers of Bishop Thornton was a cracking British Blue Heifer which went on to sell for £410 to regular supporters Malcolm and Stephen Abbott. Calves in general were a strong trade with best calves possibly a touch easier today however straight middle of the road calves were a cracking trade with black and white calves selling to a strong average of £86.49 and topping at £220 and £200 from Stephen Marshall of Summerbridge. Contninental bulls were still the best supported with strong runs from regular supporters Church Farm Enterprises, C&SB Whitelock, Sowray Bros and C Watson all on the receiving end of a healthy trade. Native bulls remained strong to sell with an average of £274 and £330 twice for calves from JP&KE Hartley of Beamsley and from JR&EJ Griffiths of Penistone. Overall a great day in the calf ring at Skipton.

DALESBRED DAY - TUESDAY 17TH OCTOBER 2017

A nice show of rams displaying plenty of power and bone were forward at Skipton on Tuesday for The Dalesbred Sheep Breeders Annual Sale. Achieving the top price of 300gns was a Shearling Ram from Richard Close and Family from Calf Hall Farm in Starbotton, Wharfedale.

GIMMER LAMBS - TUESDAY 17TH OCTOBER 2017

FORWARD: 2,467 Breeding Sheep & Gimmer Lambs. (2,386 Gimmer Lambs and 81 Dalesbred Sheep) CCM Auctions conducted their fortnightly sale of Gimmer Lambs at Skipton on Tuesday. A very mixed show of lambs for this fourth sale of the season saw an overall average of £61.04p for Mule gimmer lambs, very much in line with late season trade, and would be a straight go for the size of lambs that generally was on offer. Anything with that bit extra quality was quickly sold, but it is evident buyers are discounting plain and smaller lambs this year.
