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.
WHILE a good response to Skipton Auction Mart’s call for retail cattle in handier weights had a dampening effect on selling averages, a strong underlying trade was seen on Monday for the 24 under 30-month prime cattle for all tastes, including a good number at 530kg and below. Bacup retail butcher Phil Gregory made another foray across the border to claim two for his DA Gregory and Sons Butchers, among then the top price per kilo entry, a 565kg British Blue-x heifer from ever-present Threshfield farming brothers Charles and Richard Kitching for 261.5p/kg, or £1,478. Mr Gregory added another heifer, a 495kg Limousin-x from JW Stockdale & Son in Burnsall at 260.5p/kg (£1,289), the same per kilo price (gross £1,420) as a further 545kg Limousin-x heifer again from the Kitchings, this becoming one of eight purchases by weekly buyer James Robertshaw, five for his own Robertshaw’s Farm Shop in Thornton, the other trio for Skipton-based Keelham Farm Shop.
