CALF MARKET REPORT - MONDAY 26th NOVEMBER 2018

A fantastic day in the calf ring for the Christmas Calf show with the judging carried out by Will Gore-Browne of SIlsden Moor. The Champion Rosette ended up in the hands of Marcus Chadwick of Chadwick and Leaver of Southfield, Nr Burnley. A fantastic Simmental bred calf at just 7 weeks of age sold for £440 to the Judge.

A good show of calves throughout the day made for some heady prices, in particular British Blue x heifers which topped at £470 for a cracker from Sowray Brothers with Church Farm Enterprises seeing their calves reach £440 three times, with a section average of £355.95.

 

Continental bulls weren’t far behind the heifers with Martyn Jennings of Cowling selling the top price bull for £460 with Sowray’s selling the 1st and 2nd Prize British Blue bulls at £455 & £440 with a section average of £346.48.

 

Natives were once again on good form with an average of £248 for bulls and £143 for Angus heifers topping £340 for a strong Angus bull from Hayton & Stocks, with Hartley’s of Bolton Abbey receiving £280 for their Hereford Heifer.

 

A much better display of black and whites saw an equally improved trade this week averaging £71.67 and topping at £115 for a bull calf from AJ&A Walmsley, Ripley.
