CALVES

72 Calves

A flying trade for calves again at Lancaster with a strong entry and an even stronger trade.

Buyers were in abundance for younger calves with a big demand for young Blues, which accounted for a large portion of the calves available.

Topping this category was a smashing Bull calf making £860 from RE & P Miller, Barnacre. Many Blues pushed above the high £600s with ease. Angus were also good to sell, with a large entry and a top price of £810 from Wallbank Farms Ltd, Over Wyersdale.

Special mention goes to D & M Foster, with a tremendous young Limousin Heifer calf that went on to make £900.

Larger weaned calves were a straight trade also with trade for these being topped out at £1300 for some quality Simmental Steers from S Rossall, Over Wyersdale. AT Burrow & Son, High Snab had their usual consignment averaging £1100 a head.

Demand for calves remains high. More calves needed.
