AUCTIONEER’S REPORT (Greg MacDougall):- A highlight of the
Wednesday sale was the Super Two’s competition where 24 pens of
Continentals were forward to the judge Mr Mick Etherington of
Bingley. 1 st prize pen came from Frank Joel and grandson Jack
Edmondson who week after week show some excellent lambs and
were worthy winners, their pen scaling 52kgs sold for £90 going to
Ali Shan. 2 nd prize were consigned by GR&A Foy & Son for a handy
weight pen of 42kgs realizing £107 or 254p/kg this time selling to
SA Swales, Knavesmire Butchers, York. However, this was soon
eclipsed with a pen from MR&JE Davis with their 42kgs topping at
£118 or 281p/kg again to SA Swales, next was an excellent pen
from Hayley Baines with 2 excellent hoggs weighing 41kgs making
£114 or 278.1p/kg to SA Swale of York. Overall average for the 24
pens was 214.2p/kg or £85.80. Well done to all vendors who took
the time to show and congratulations to all prize winners. Thanks

out the job.

AUCTIONEER’S REPORT (Stephen Dennis):- A night of snow over
the pennines affected both vendors and buyers with absentees on
both sides of the ring. Recent sales talk suggested that trade had
eased since the January Sale and certainly buyers seemed more
concerned over the cost of feed, with chance of it going dearer
rather than less. However cattle still looked a good price with bulls
setting off at a good pace, Julie Bentham with a pen of 3 9 month old
Lim x stirks selling at £825 showing good deand for long term
feeders. In the stores Alan & Alastair Foster’s pen of 13mo Charolais
x Steers looked well sold at £920. Rollo Rowlands travelled for the
first time from Derbyshire with a run of 31 Continental x bullocks in
traditional store condition selling in pens of 5 & 6 to average just
short of £1100 a piece. Also from Derbyshire for the 1 st time was
David Gregory with 25 nicely farmed Lim x Herefords 9-12mo topping
at £960. Other notable sales inc. homebred bullocks from Brian
Carter, 14mo at £1080 and Willie & Frank Brennand with a dozen Lim
x Steers to average around the £1000 mark.
