Farm assurance status Would all cattle vendors selling cattle as Farm Assured please ensure that their Farm Assurance is up to

date, with all linked holdings registered to the primary holding, and ensure that the stickers used in passports match the details held by the administering Farm Assurance body. We are increasingly having

issues with linked holdings not being covered under a primary FABBL account, and severe deductions are being applied at the time of slaughter. In such instances, the vendor is liable for all deductions made

Named/Numbered Sires Vendors are advised that named sires must be officially printed on the passport of the animal and not hand written. We will not sell animals as being named or numbered sire if the sire details are not printed onto the passport. Sire details may be checked with the breed societies online to ensure that they are correct. Please

also include sire details on your blue entry forms which accompany cattle to market. Thank you for your cooperation.

Store Cattle (428)

Store Cattle 428 Head Forward & Sold

Store Cattle continue to find sought after demand even amongst fears of a grass

shortage. Right on time the rain dances of many paid off with a shower (albeit

light) appearing to bolster confidence for those ringside. Another week and

fantastic to see so many supporters stood (socially distanced) ringside keen for

cattle of all qualities. It amazes me on a weekly basis how the varied degree of

quality seen at Melton from across the counties finds a home and is credit to

the new and old faces we are seeing on a weekly basis. As we have seen in the

Fat section and Claves –

‘More Buyers = More Stock, More Stock = More Buyers!’

May has been another record breaking month at Melton Mowbray for all

sections and huge thanks to all staff, vendors and buyers for their continued

support throughout the Corona Virus Pandemic at a time when most business

are struggling. Plans are afoot to transform the design of the current fat cattle

and store cattle rings as we look to the future to better enable efficiency, safety

and general practicality of the current setup and we thank customers in advance for their patience when we start these works.

As more and more retailers such a Burger chains start to open up (noted by the

amount of rubbish sadly seen down the quiet country lanes) there should be

restored confidence in the beef sector - Todays sale off to a flying start as we

saw a cracking pedigree Limousin cow and calf from Ian Hodge, Norfolk, selling

at £2000 with a Blonde bull from Moores Livestock, Grimstone to £1250 and in

calf cows PD+ 6 months to Continental Bulls to £1050 for Avon Blue Farming up

from Southam. Other cows and calves from Yorkshine Ltd, Norfolk to £1100 for

Native bred cows with bloomed Continental Calves at foot. A show of store

cattle today with more aged cattle about than previous weeks saw a top of

£1155 for a Limousin Steer at 20 months from I & ES Nourish with an overage

‘Proper Bullock’ from Avon Blue Farming to £1135 and R H Hall, Aldecar to

£1120 for their British Blue x steers at 24 months. MJ Sharlot up from

Leamington Spa to £1090 for his Simmental x Bullock at 22 months. WW & JA

McCurdie up on the same bus from Rugby saw £1090 for a Limousin x Heifer.

Steers from Milner Arable, Markfield to £1085 for British Blue X at 17 months

with others from the same home to £1040. K Tuckwoods Simmental x heifers to
