Lancaster Livestock Auction: Store Cattle - Friday 28th June

Store Cattle

The weekly sale of Store Cattle had a smaller entry forward this week with many busy silaging and clipping. The drop in deadweight price this week saw us achieve a far better trade than expected with vendors leaving satisfied. Topping the market today was Angus bullocks selling to £1270 from J & H Davis, Cabus with other noted prices for Angus bullocks being £1260 from J Tattersall, Leyland and £1200 from L Parsons & Sons, Levens.

Calves and Stirks

The weekly sale of calves which included the monthly sale of Stirks had a slightly smaller entry than anticipated of 120 forward, with a few vendors missing as many take advantage of this good weather. This, however, did have an effect on the stirk trade that saw them sell to a satisfactory trade. Leading the way this month was a consignment of yearling British Blue heifers from J & A Sheerin, Quernmore selling to £770, £750 and £740. Bullocks topped at £665 for 6 month old British Blues from MG & WD Burton, Barnard Castle with Herefords to £635 from J & A Jolleys, Cabus with Angus’ to the same price from Kirkby & Longworth, Broughton-in-Furness.

Black and white stirks sold to a top of £390 for 8 month old steers from R & A Jolleys.

The weekly sale of calves was met with plenty of demand especially for beef calves of which more could have easily been sold. Topping the trade today was a consignment of Limousin bull calves from GCL Stephenson Ltd, Kirkby Lonsdale selling to £388 and £382 with others from the consignment easily selling around the £350 mark at 6 weeks old.
