SUCKLER CALVES & STORE CATTLE

EXPECTATIONS THOROUGHLY EXCEEDED

JUNCTION 36 – SUCKLER CALVES & STORE CATTLE

If anyone needed reminding what Junction 36 is all about, today’s sale did the talking!
Our second annual Show & Sale of Suckler Calves of the year saw entries increase following the success of our first sale, and vendors were once again rewarded with a blistering trade from start to finish.
We kicked off with the suckler calves, and it was quite simply FLASH FROM THE FIRST LOT! An abundance of familiar faces were joined by new buyers around the ring, with an incredible 57 individual buyers purchasing in the suckler calf and store section alone! Across the entire Thursday cattle day, well over 100 buyers were putting their hands in their pockets

SUCKLER CALVES – A SALE WITH SERIOUS FIREPOWER!

The headline price was £2,200 for two 8-month-old Blonde bulls from Messrs M J Whitworth.
The bulls kept coming, with 6-month-old Lims from Messrs M W & W Proctor and P Wearing hitting £1,880.
Steers topped at £1,980 for a British Blue from Messrs M & D Hatton, whilst Limousin steers from Messrs Hodgson reached £1,880 at just 7 months old. The same home also took the top price for suckler heifers, making £1,880. Today’s champion was a 5-month-old Limousin heifer from Messrs B Wilson & Son, which went on to sell to the judge for £1,850. A tremendous result for a tremendous calf!
