PRIME SHEEP (2,091 Head)

Bank Holidays are meant to be quieter! But with over 2,000 head penned for sale there was no holiday at Skipton. A great entry given that we are in the last week of May. The sale started with nearly 400 new seasons lambs and the top of over 300p belonged to Mark & Richard Ireland from Whalley purchased by Vivers Scotlamb, Annan. The whole sale averaged 251p, down on last Monday but still stronger than the second half of last week.

In the hogg market a total of 1,379 head were presented for sale but quality was a little more variable than of late as customers tidy up their end of season runs, but trade could match last Mondays high point. Meated sorts were 200p plus, commercial types 175p to 200p, plain types around 150p. Mature hoggs varied in price from 120p to 180p.

CRAVEN DAIRY AUCTION (18 head)

A small but quality draw of dairy cattle were seen at the May show and sale of dairy cattle. Robert Metcalfe of Brearton was set with a stern task when selecting the Newly Calven Heifer class and picked two fine heifers from Church Farm Enterprises as Champion and Reserve. The top price of the day went to a Pedigree Heifer from Jonathan Caygill of Rylstone, which showed itself tremendously in the sale ring and is on its way to Tarvin, Cheshire with Wilmot Blockley, along with the champion and reserve pedigree heifers from Church Farm Enterprises.

Next sale 17th June for a BOCM Sponsored show and sale.
