CCM Auctions held their fortnightly cattle sale at Skipton Mart on Wednesday where a good entry was presented for sale. Trade was strong for what was generally a younger selection of cattle.
Bulls again sold well with a full ring side of customers, but please make sure all cattle are pre-entered so buyers can be properly informed. The premium bulls are still selling away well over £1200, and an overall average of nearly £1000 per head.
In the store ring there were some notable runs of cattle, bullocks to £1450 and heifers to £1440. But it was the nice yearling cattle that really sold above expectations. James Huck, Hubberholme selling British Blue heifers, 9 months old at £1170 and £1110, John Greenhalgh had 12 month old Charolais heifers at £1100 and David Johnson had Limousin heifers at £1045.
