The weekly sale of Cast Sheep had a smaller entry today. As seen nationwide this week the trade has eased with ewes slightly harder to sell than the previous week.

seventies and eighty pound. Mule ewes sold stronges selling mid to late sixties topping at £69 from EJ Hodgson & Son of Lambrigg Head Farm with plenty selling around the sixty pound mark.

The weekly sale of Calves and Stirks had an entry just shy of 100 forward. The calf trade generally back from the heights of last autumn but in keeping with other local centres. The calf trade does look positive going forward with the store cattle trade showing signs of improvement and many farmer buyers waiting for their single farm payment then will be back in the market buying calves. Well grown beef calves can still break the £300 barrier with British Blue heifers from JW & TE Sharp of Flodder Hall selling to £350. British Blues topped at £340 from Robinson of Greaves Farm and Limousins from JG & BJ Escome selling to £335. Plenty of good beef calves could have been bought around £250 with young beef calves selling between £170 and £200. The black and whites bull calf trade remains very similar with all black and white averaging £69.54. Well grown fit stirks in strong demand and well bid for. Angus bulls sold to £635 from DE Metcalfe of Garsdale. G Wilson of Low Field Farm sold British Blue heifers to £565 with five month old black and white bulls selling to £400 from the same home.
