Lancaster Livestock Auction: Lancaster Calves, Stirks OTM Cattle and Store Cattle - Friday 28th May 2021

CALVES AND STIRKS
There was a smaller entry of calves this week following the bumper entry seen last week and due to many local farmers taking advantage of the good weather to silage. The consignment from J & G Thornley, Roseacre once again led the way at Lancaster selling Charolais bull calves to £495, British Blue bulls to £450 and heifers to £400. Other noted prices for British Blue calves were £410 from JT & B Fox, Quernmore who sold British Blue heifers to £385. The consignment from GH Sanderson & Family sold British Blue heifers to £380. Plenty of beef calves sold in the region of the £300 mark.
Dairy bull calves saw Fleckvieh sell to £170 from JR Newsham & Son, Conder Green with Friesian bull calves this week selling to £100 from G H Sanderson & Family.
The monthly sale of stirks at Lancaster saw trade slightly easier as seen at other sales due to the recent drop in the prime beef trade and grass growth remaining slow. Despite this, vendors left well chuffed with their trade on the day. A pair of suckler bred yearling Limousin bullocks from Alan Thompson, Carnforth sold to £890. Yearling Angus bullocks from J W Thwaites, Tebay sold to £855, £830 and £815. Yearling Simmental heifers sold to £795 from Red Lees Farm, Holcombe and there were plenty of pens of well grown, summering steers and heifers sold to £700 and more.

Dairy bullocks topped at £890 for Friesians from G Rawlinson, Manchester who sold others to £875.

Lancaster’s store cattle trade was slightly easier for all specifications but continues to be the place to market your short keep cattle with these eagerly bid for. L Parsons & Sons, Levens led the way selling a pen of three Angus bullocks to £1490 and a couple of Angus and Limousin bullocks to £1460.
