Thursday 18th February

ANNIVERSARY CHAMPION SELLS FOR £1260 AT NWA J36

North West Auctions held its fortnightly sale of Store Cattle which included a show to celebrate the 3rd Anniversary of the opening of Junction 36 Rural Auction Centre. The show, which was kindly judged by Mr David Anderson of Maryport, attracted a strong entry of cattle with over 20 forward for the show. The championship rosette was awarded to a British Blue x steer from MJ & JA Winn which later sold for £1260 and was purchased by Mr J Bowling, Wigan.

Trade throughout the sale was strong for all classes with vendors leaving pleased with prices achieved. The sale topped at £1280 for a trio of Limousin steers from PE & M Capstick, Millom with heifers to £1180 for Limousin x from TS & SM Park, Millom. Young bulls peaked at £920 for Limousin x from DJ & MJ Hoggarth, Ulpha. Yearling cattle met strong bidding with buyers eager to secure stock ahead of turn out and more farmer buyers around the ringside looking to purchase groups of cattle. Cash prizes awarded every sale now for highest priced groups of 3 or more steers and heifers.

J36 Sale Reports Thursday 18th February Thursday 18th February Thursday 18th February Thursday 18th February

A disappointing number of seventy Calves forward today and a lot more of all types could have easily been sold to one of the busiest ringside of buyers seen for some time at J36 with some buyers leaving empty handed and very short of numbers to fulfil their requirements. Beef calves saw better types around six weeks old selling in excess of £300 with the first prized bull calf topping at £350 from B & MJ Nelson & Son of Halforth Farm. British Blue heifer calves sold to £335 from Messrs Sowerby of Townhead Farm, Appleby. Young beef calves sold in and around £250 mark. Black & Whites once again a strong trade with more desperately needed at J36 to meet the demand from an active ring of buyers. Better types of rearers sold in excess of £100 topping at £120 from HJ Robinson of Elm Trees with young rearing types selling

over £70 and bobby calves £35 and £50. Calf Top Prices: Calf Top Prices: Calf Top Prices: Calf Top Prices: BULL CALVES – Lim: £350 Halforth Farm; £280 Spout House; £225 Wraysholme Tower.

The fortnightly sale of Cast/OTM Cattle saw a reduced entry of cows forward with farmers taking advantage of the finer weather and attention turning to lambing sheep. The quality was however better than previous weeks with the market averaging 107p/kg for all sold. A top price of 141p/kg was achieved for a Lim X Cow from GH Jones with Dairy cows peaking at 107p/kg. No prime cattle forward today which was disap-pointing as we now have a buyer regularly looking to purchase prime cattle at NWA J36.
