SKIPTON Auction Mart’s dairy sales co-ordinator Sarah Liddle reports on Monday’s Craven Dairy Auction, the most successful of the year to date, and looks forward to the next fortnightly sale on Monday, April 26, which also incorporates the big Spring Jersey sale. It was great to see more buyers in the auction, as we start to return to some normality and those present were treated to stock of all classes and ages. The sale commenced with eight top-notch fresh milkers through the ring, with seven breaking the £2,000 barrier. Two shared the day’s top price accolade of £2,350, the first from HS Petch & Sons, Whitegate Farm, Great Ayton, with a Mogul-sired heifer from their Mandy family selling to Brian Blezzard, Ribchester. Fresh since March 23 she was giving over 27kg/day.
