Comprising: 128 Young Feeding Bulls, 3 Grazing Cows, 286 Bullocks & Heifers, 12 Breeding Cattle
A great November entry of Store cattle were forward at CCM Auctions Fortnightly Sale held at Skipton on Wednesday. A younger entry of bulls were a decent trade with less of the top end strong stuff in the entry, but quality sold well and commercial types had plenty of bidders.
In the stores, good older cattle were dearer than the previous sale, whilst suckled calves were forward in good numbers and heifers found a nice enquiry form a full ringside of buyers. To highlight the crowded ringside, there were 70 successful different purchasers on the day drawn from Lincolnshire, East Yorkshire, County Durham, Cumbria, Lancashire, Cheshire, Derbyshire together with the usual good contingent of local men.
