J36 Crooklands Livestock Auction: Second Show & Sale of Suckled Calves

Thursday 9th November

Suckled Calves

North West Auctions held their second autumn show and sale of Suckled Calves today, which saw a great ringside of buyers with all stock being well big for, with the trade being better than the previous sale.

The pre-sale show was very kindly judged by Mr Stuart Cornthwaite, where a fantastic show of cattle was put before him. The champion rosette was awarded to the first prize Limousin Suckler bull from RI Dixon which later went on to sell for £900, which also topped the bull section. The reserve champion rosette was awarded to D & DW Prickett from Farleton with a Limousin heifer making £800.

Leading the Suckler Calf trade was Fishwick Bros, Long Sleddale at £950 for a Limousin bullock at 7 months old. Topping the heifer section was also Fishwick Bros, again, with a Limousin selling to £890.

Calves & Stirks

There was a mixed show of calves today, with more beef calves being sought by buyers. The market was topped by a 1 month old British Blue bull calf from DR & C Galbraith, Sunny Bank selling for £330. Heifer calves were topped by a 2 month old British Blue from E & SM Halpin, Rakesmoor Farm.

Stirks were topped by a 6 month old Hereford bull from E & SM Halpin, Rakesmoor Moor selling for £515 and heifers selling to £380 from RJ & J Gardner, Natland Mill Beck Farm for an Angus.

Cast Cows & OTM Cattle

A smaller show of OTM cattle today at J36, with the market being topped by a Stabiliser bull from A Dixon & Son, Kit Crag weighing 960kg and selling for £1224.00. A Limousin cow from N Cooper & Son, Troughton Hall sold for £899.81 closely followed by a Swiss Brown from JJ& MA Park, Sizergh selling for £866.30 and a Limousin from J & M Wilson, Cooper House selling for £862.79.

All cast cows forward today sold to an average of 102.5p/kg.

Beef Breeding Cattle

The monthly sale of Beef Breeding Cattle saw a good show of predominantly dairy bred suckler cattle in the market today, selling to a sharper trade than anticipated. In-calf cows topped at £1100 for the herd dispersal from M Archer & Son, Redbank and others from the same home selling to £1000 and £980. Bulling heifers, all Aberdeen Angus from J & M Maudsley and Sons, Raw End sold to a top of £910 and £890.

Cows with calves at foot were topped by a smart British Blue Heifer with a Limousin bull calf at foot which sold for £1800 from B & HM Wilson, Ashstead, followed by a pure Limousin cow with pure Limousin calf at foot from Thor Atkinson, Meadow View selling for £1680 and a Limousin calf with a smart British Blue bull calf at foot sold for £1650 from S Procter, High Biggarsbank.

Breeding bulls were an excellent trade topped by a 19 month old pedigree Limousin bull from Thor Atkinson, selling for £3,500 and another one for £2,400 both going to local buyers.

Store Cattle

Store cattle were harder to place today with the bad summer taking its toll on cattle this year and purchasers being cautious over their fodder supply this winter. Trade was topped by a smart Limousin bullock from SW Atkinson and Son, Capplerigg selling for £1050. Others from the same home sold for £960, £920 and £910. A 19 month old Charolais bullock from TM & D Dobson, Broad Oak sold for £990. The top priced heifer was a Limousin from R & A Galbraith, Carter House, selling for £850 with others from R & A Galbraith selling for £820, £770 and £730.
