Lancaster Livestock Auction: Store Cattle Friday 3rd November

Store Cattle

There was another good entry of store cattle forward at Lancaster today, selling to a stronger trade for all types of cattle and vendors leaving well satisfied. Short keep cattle were noticeably up on the week, selling to a top of £1,450 for British Blue heifers from RG Capstick and Son of Ingleton with Limousin bullocks selling to £1430 and £1340 from M & RW Stirzaker of Milnthorpe, a dozen cattle sold for £1300 or more. Black and whites were a sharper trade, topping at £1050 from JS Clark and Sons of Godson House with the largest black and white bullocks selling over £1000. All black and whites forward sold to a market average of £779.

Vendors are reminded that Gates are open from 7am and requested to forward cattle for sale ASAP with fully completed paperwork to avoid queues.

OTM Cattle

A bumper entry of 161 cows forward sold to a full complement of cast cow buyers, leading to a continued strong trade, especially for the time of the year. An overall market average of 112p/kg was achieved, with all black and white cows forward selling to a market average of 105p/kg. Limousin cast cows topped the market selling to 179.5p/kg from JH Atkinson and Partner of Mosergh.

Following ministry inspections, vendors are reminded to ensure that cattle are fit to travel to the auction market and lame and cows with overgrown feet will be turned away.

Calves and Stirks

There was another strong entry of calves forward today selling to another solid trade with many customers commenting a stronger trade than other local centres. A busy ringside of buyers saw some going home empty handed. Good quality beef calves were, once again, in strong demand and selling in excess of £300, selling to a top of £400 from T & CM Kelsall & Sons of Brown Brook. All British Blue bulls forward sold to a market average of £309, with British Blue heifers from the same home selling to £330 and £315. Limousin bull calves sold to £360 and £350 from JM Capstick of Brantbeck. A plainer entry of black and whites forward today with a shortage of good black and whites to fulfil the requirements of buyers with bobby calves this week noticeably more money.

A good entry of stirks in the market saw British Blue bullocks sell to £540 from G & MA Smith of Samlesbury with Angus bullocks to £490 and British Blue heifers to £465. A consignment of Black and White five month old bullocks sold to £270.
