Fortnightly Sale of Young Feeding Bulls, Store Bullocks & Heifers, Breeding Cattle
Forward: 411 head of cattle
Comprising: 396 Feeding Cattle (22 Young Bulls, 40 Beef Feeding Cows & Bulls, 334 Bullocks & Heifers) & 15 Breeding Cattle.
Feeding Bulls – Feeding bull numbers light and trade good as feeders continue to benefit from a good finished price. Shapey bulls under 10 months are £1000 plus, 11 month old Autumn born bulls £1100 to £1200 and strong 15 month old bulls £1500. Trade will continue as feeders look to replace finished stock.
Feeding Cows – Grazing cows a sharper trade with much more activity at the ringside suggesting that factories might just have an eye on the future when the Christmas trade for clean cattle slows and manufacturing meat demand returns. The sale did benefit from an increased entry of cattle carrying finish and the heavier cows were again £1200 to £1320 for both Continentals and Native breeds.
More meat was evident through the first cross beef cows requiring 3 months finish and these once again were more regularly £900 to £1200. Very little in the way of light, plain cows with most £550 to £650.
Stores – Stores on the whole a good trade. The larger Dairy Blue bullocks of the day with meat £1200-£1385 with DT&LA Houseman, Harrogate achieving highest price for Blue crosses. Large leaner Dairy Blues £1100-£1140 and good feeding types a little short of flesh £960-£1080. Dairy Blue heifers selling to £1185 from N&J Thwaite, Hellifield. Large end heifer with flesh £1040-£1100 and leaner goods £890-£980. Some growing 12-month-old dairy bred heifers sold at £680.
