Lancaster Livestock Auction: Store Cattle Friday 18th May

Store Cattle

It was great to have a larger entry of cattle forward today, with in excess of 300 forward. There was a mixed entry of cattle forward, but seeing a strong trade throughout with all sizes and ages very well bid for. The trade peaked today for a pen of three Angus steers from O Butler of Kirkham selling to £1580. This was closely followed by Limousin bullocks from H Chapman and Son of Middleton selling to £1460 and £1440. It was O Butler of Kirkham selling Angus heifers to £1,390.

Cattle numbers are required each week with grazing types of cattle remaining a very strong trade and vendors urged to take advantage.

OTM Cattle

There was a smaller entry of cast cows forward for the sale today with many busy with silage. Many more cattle are needed each week to fulfil buyer’s requirements with many going away short. There was an overall market average of 139p/kg achieved. OTM heifers sold to a top of 204.5p/kg for an Angus heifer from P & A Bell of Pilling with Limousin heifers to 199.5p/kg from KM and KJ Curwen of Abbeystead.
