500 Turkeys were put before a busy ring side of buyers at Junction 36. We thank our judge Miss Hannah-Mary Stewart who awarded the first prize rosette to a 28lb Turkey consigned by R Hodgson, Dent which flew away to the top price of the day selling at £100. This good run of quality birds from R Hodgson also sold a 48lb turkey to £100 with others to £95. R Henderson, Poulton Le Fylde sold 18lb Bronze Turkeys to £90. Heavy weight turkeys in excess of 20lb often sold for in excess of £2 / a pound with middle range turkeys in the highest demand and saw some consignments sell towards £3 / 1 pound with plenty in the early to mid £2.20-£2.80 a pound. Geese were in short supply with only two forward, selling to a top of £90 and £80 from M&G German, Middleton.
North West Auction would like to wish all our customers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
