Smellows heifer champion at Craven Dairy Auction Local dairy farmer Jeremy Taylor, who runs the Smellows pedigree Holstein Friesian herd at Small House, Broughton, sent out the first prize newly calven home-bred heifer and overall show champion at Skipton Auction Mart’s opening November Craven Dairy Auction.

CCM Auctions Conducted their Monthly Sale of Stirks, Weaned Calves and Young Store Cattle together with the bi monthly sale of Machinery, reclaim, salvage, stone, timber and poultry. Forward – 112 head store cattle, stirks and weaned calves. 28 Breeding/Store Sheep and Goats. 75 Lots of Poultry & Waterfowl. 416 Lots of machinery. 528 Lots of reclaim and salvage. 117 lots of furniture and collectables.

Although it’s now November there were plenty of sheep forward today at CCM’s fortnightly sale of Store & Breeding sheep held at Skipton Mart. Store lambs saw a greater proportion of smaller wintering lambs but trade for these was quite strong with cows going inside and ground becoming clear to graze with sheep. Strong lambs also found good favour with buyers but smaller lambs would look the better sold.
