Cull Cow Prices

Although the price reflects a reduction on the week it hides a show which comprised a very high percentage of worn lean dairy cows which if young continued to get away in advance of expectations. Cattle carrying finish sold well and farm assurance is particularly important if vendors are looking to offer cattle to the widest possible audience.

5,102 Prime Sheep

A larger show of sheep than anticipated but no real let up in trade today, with 4,705 lambs averaging exactly the same as last week at 175.9p/kg. A commercial Continental export lambs was 180p to 190p, something a touch smarter around 200p, whilst the specials were 220p plus, up to 292.1p for 38kg Beltex making £111 each from Stocks Enterprises. James Towler, Kevin Marshall and John Eddleston also sold lambs above 250p/kg. In addition to Stock Entprises £111, Kevin Marshall made £107 each of a pen of lambs, George and John Stapleton had £101, whilst at £100 twice were Richard & Mark Ireland, £100 twice John Eddleston, £100 Hayley Baines and also Ellis Bros. Heavy lambs again sold well, with the 46kg to 52kg bracket up 1p/kg on the week, decent Suffolk & Continentals 48kg to 52kg making £32 to £36 over the weight. Mule lambs were a decent trade without being just as strong as last week, but generally trade was £26 to £28 over the weight for these. A decent show of ewes were plainer in quality but every bit as good to sell.
