CCM cattle auction.
THRESFIELD brothers Charles and Richard Kitching again led the prime cattle trade at Skipton Auction Mart’s weekly Monday sale when consigning both the top price Limousin-x steer and heifer, the former tipping the scales at 635kg and grossing £1,762 (277.5p/kg), the latter weighing 590kg and making £1,625 (275.5p/kg).
Both were among five acquisitions by Ralph Pearson Wholesale Butchers in Bradford, a further three claimed by Keelham Farm Shop in Skipton.
Trade for the ten under 30-month clean cattle was very similar on the week, the best selling in the mid-270’s and commercial entries, including British Blue-x dairy fed heifers at 555kg, making to 236.5p/kg.
