Prime Cattle Auctioneer Richard Turner.

Good trade throughout. Premium grade young bulls at record levels. Commercial steers and

heifers were a good trade with customers for all weights and finish. 36 show cattle forward to

400ppk average 265ppk again with a full audience and competitive bidding. John Mellin and

Clare Cropper took the honours with seven prizes including four firsts with Champion Limousin

Heifer and Reserve Champion Blue steer. Thanks to Richard Mullaney of Hartshead Meats for

his expertise.

T & C Critchley’s first prize Limousin steer sold for 320ppk followed by their Limousin heifer at

310ppk. Ben Townsend’s first prize Blue heifer at 302ppk. It was good to see the return of S & P

J Scrivin with their prize winning Blue steer in the hands of the breeder. Best Traditional Heifer

was Rose Foster with her Aberdeen Angus, walking away with the E S Hartley traditional breed

cup. The well attended young farmer class was a difficult decision with so many worthy

contenders, Limousin taking three places won by Clare Cropper followed by Lee Hopwood and in

third place R Nutter’s heifer selling at 274ppk behind first prize 280ppk.

It was also good to welcome back students from Myerscough College. Harry Collinge showed the

British Blue X steer in the Young Farmer class with eager colleagues looking on. Harry went on

to present and sell in the ring, weighing in at 600kg and selling at a very respectable 242ppk to

Sanderson Butchers of Baxenden.

Cull cows similar trade to last week but less Continentals about and best quality dairy culls

averaging 110ppk. CHRISTMAS CULL COW SHOW NEXT WEEK WITH PROMISE OF GOOD

NUMBERS FORWARD.

A great turnout of cattle today with 68 milkers on offer to a packed ringside. Judge

Wick Williams had a tough task judging a very strong pedigree class and the prize

went to James Rogerson selling at £2,120 to Dave Coulthurst. The top price came

for a heifer from Jeremy Taylor which sold to Brian Blezard, Ribchester for £2,220.

Brian also bought a second heifer from Jeremy Taylor at £2,100. Rob Smith from

Samlesbury continued his excellent run of heifers selling 5 from £2,100 to £1,880

shared between W E & O Blockley, D Coulthurst and David Walmsley.

A total of 7 heifers passed the £2,000 barrier but the show of new calved cows was

exceptional. Frankland Farms, Rathmell sold two 2nd calvers at £1,800 each and

two heifers at £1,820 just beating George Whitwell’s first prize cow at £1,780.

In-calf heifers were in very short supply with Michael Tomlinson taking the top price

of £1,300 to John Hough. Today we had cattle from Blackpool, Kendal, Ripon,

Huddersfield, Halifax, Gargrave and most places inbetween.

Thanks to everyone who brought cattle and a special thank you to the dairy staff for

their effort.

NEXT WEEK WE EXPECT 30+ MILKERS. Thursday 15th is Cogent Pedigree

show & sale and reduction of young stock for G Donkin. THIS SHOW IS OPEN TO

ANY VENDOR, PLEASE GIVE US A TRY. If you need help or advice on selling

dairy cattle please ring. Distance no object! Fred 07713 075660

A very pleasing entry of 181 calves the week after our Christmas Show and a

good trade for all the Continentals. Herefords and Angus, especially with named

sires were very good indeed to sell. Remember next Thursday is Hereford

Incentive week, so we would expect a few more about.

49 Blue bulls and 28 Blue heifers. A lovely run of young calves from Joss

Lancaster. Bulls £430, £420, £418, £410 & £370 and heifers £365 x 2, £340 &

£328. Paul and John Cowgill a trio of bulls at £425.

A few more Limousins about today, a beauty from John Baxandall topped the

bulls at £420.

The best dairy bulls could make £100 plus today, mediums £60-£70 and

averaged £45 including bobbies.

Next Thursday is our CHRISTMAS SHOW OF STIRKS following the sale of

calves. We would expect 50 plus approx. 12.30pm start, providing a range of

dairy bred and suckler bred cattle generally 6-12 months old. We have an entry

of 6 pure bred Hereford bulls at 6 months old and encourage other vendors to

please ring the office on 01200 441351 with approximate entries by Tuesday

lunchtime for advertising purposes. Thank you.

Auctioneer’s comment:

Trade better than anticipated, with the majority of Texel lambs £30-32 above their

weight. A smart run of lambs from M & WM Berry sold to a top of £90 or 1.89ppk.

Very few horned and Mule lambs forward, however well fleshed lambs sold well,

with 40kg Swales from Hartleys of Pendleside realising £55.50. Ewes sold well,

topping at £85 for a pen of Suffolks from J Peel. Plenty of heavy ewes £80+. Mule

ewes topped at £58, with leaner sorts either side of £48.

More consistent numbers and and fed cattle forward. Continental young bulls good

trade , black and white bulls very lean and a better trade than they looked on paper.

Over half of the steers and heifers were in the premium grade up to 260ppk and

averaged over 230ppk. Good numbers of cull cows forward with premium grade

continentals averaging 150ppk with help from the champion Blue cow at 208ppk

and Reserve Champion red Limousin at 174ppk. Better fleshed dairy culls forward

with best quality 105ppk to 115ppk consistently and leaner types 75ppk to 95ppk.

New vendors S & M Cooper from Ulverston had a successful journey taking top price of £1800

for a super home bred heifer and £1700 for a second calver. Local farmers M & W M Berry were

also in the money at £1730.

It would be fair to say that there were an abundance of second quality heifers on offer with £1600

buying the better end and some heifers sticking around the £1100 mark. A Shorthorn x heifer

from D Graveston sold well at £1030 to Hague Speak and a Monty x from C Parsons of Kendal

went to Wick Williams at £1190.

It was a strong Limousin bull from John Ibison which topped the market at £480 today, closely

followed by Roger Vickery’s blue bull at £468. Forty four blue bulls averaged £328 for all quality.

Thirty eight blue heifers would be a shade easier than last week. A beauty from Graham Airey

at £430 topped the market and still plenty of the better sorts £300 to £350.

Black and white bulls were significantly better to sell today. Angus would seem less on paper,

but the quality forward today would not compare to recent weeks.

Today was our Christmas Show of Stirks kindly sponsored by West Craven Insurance Services

Ltd. There were 108 forward for Judge John Swann to choose from. A very nice entry of mainly

suckler bred cattle today, generally around the 6-9 months old.

Frankland Farms, Rathmell took Champion and Reserve Champion with their first prize blue x

heifer at £890 and their first prize blue x bull at £710 respectively, both returning to

Boroughbridge with the judge!

Frankland Farms also took both third prizes too with a bull at £740 and heifer at £810. Second

prize male went to D M & R E Capstick with a young steer at £765 and second prize heifer a

black Limousin x from R & A J Haworth sold for £740.

Auctioneer’s comment: (Will Alexander)

The Christmas Show drew a big entry of 959 lambs. A fantastic run of show lambs

were put forward to the Judge Andy Finch, Dunbia. Taking the Champion Rosette

was the first prize pen of 40kg and under trimmed Beltex lambs from Proctors

Farms, weighing at 38kg these later sold for the days top price of £134 or 356ppk

to Croppers Butchers of Accrington Market. Both the purchaser and the judge

commented on the quality of these lambs, putting them amongst the very best

show lambs around this year. Away from the show, handy weight lambs 42-46kg,

full of meat, sold around 160-164ppk. Best bred lambs 1.80ppk+. A large

proportion of todays show Non Farm Assured, with buyers cautious of these,

vendors are strongly recommend to consider joining a Farm Assurance scheme to

W A & A Booth of Feizor took the Championship today when judge Philip Halhead tapped his

heifer forward out of a very strong class by Golden Oaks Alexander and out of a VG86G Dam

which sold to Hill & Davies, Wrexham for £2200.00. The reserve champion came from another

regular vendor James Rogerson who sold at £2200.00 to David Coulthurst of Longridge. Cow

trade was equally as good with Frankland Farms, Rathmell taking first prize with a homebred

Lavanguard 2nd calver selling to T & M Green, Wigan.

There was a superb show today and the dairy team did a great job especially with the young

stock from G Donkin. Bulling heifers made to £980.00 and £970.00 with yearlings either side of

£700.00.

Next week we have already entries of 30 milkers from regular vendors who don’t want to milk

over the Christmas period!

190 Calves and stirks and a very nice trade indeed for all breeds. Blues dominated the

numbers again, 42 bulls regularly £370 to £430 and 41 heifers, the better sorts £350-£415. A

real mixture of Angus bulls, but a couple of beauties worth a mention at £365 and £342 from

Joe Pemberton and Kate Bailey respectively. David Mattinson’s and Alec Simpson’s

Simmental bulls were keenly bid for £320-£395. Good black Limousin Heifers from Cumbria

could easily make £300-£350. The Black and White bulls were better to sell again today. It

was not stirk week this week, but five turned up anyway. Four proper black Friesian bulls at

£265 and a blue bull at £550. Please ring the office 01200 441351 by next Tuesday lunchtime

with anticipated stirk entries for next Thursday. Thank you.

A very different type of cattle on offer this week with a mix of crossbred, Ayshire

and imports. David Knowles topped the market with a superb home bred black

heifer which was claimed by Alf Townsend for £1900. Colin Singleton was next in

line at £1900 and £1850 with Malcom Fell next at £1700 and £1680. Imported

heifers from RM Imports sold at £1360.

In calf heifers were a mixed show with £1200 buying the best heifer from Jason

Shaw. Next week we are open but please advise by Wednesday if you are selling

which just gives me time to contact customers.

The next big sale is the Dugdale show on 5th January.

Thanks to everyone who have supported our sales this year and a special thank

you to the yard staff for all their work.
