MARKET REPORT - MONDAY 24TH NOVEMBER 2014 DAIRY

Craven Dairy Auction Christmas Show 42 head to £2500. Weekly Calf Sale 72 head to £400 B&W av £56.46 Cont av £246 Native av £165






Craven Dairy Auction Christmas Show (42 head)

 A busy day with the Christmas Dairy Sale and by far one of the best shows of cattle this year with quality right through the shippon.  Trade was slow and steady and not helped by further doom and gloom in the industry, but the sale got underway with a certain hype and enthusiasm. Trade did get going through the middle of the sale with the arrival of the champion from David Lawson which was 21 days calved and giving 32 Litres, the heifer eventually reached £2500 and was knocked down to regular supporter Stephen Jeanes and his Son Edward.

 

All in all there was a straight trade for most animals considering the circumstances with the show of cattle probably not reaching their deserved value. Next Sale 15th December, let’s hope things look a little better by then.
