SKIPTON Auction Mart has published its annual newsletter CCM News, which features agricultural-related features and informed comment from sector experts, both in-house and externally, along with a round-up of the 2020 and early 2021 show and sale season. While Covid has obviously had a major impact, trade has successfully been maintained and it’s still business as usual at the mart, albeit a ‘Pivotal time for UK farming,’ as proclaimed in the front page headline of CCM News. However, there is still plenty of optimism, renewed hope and confidence for summer and beyond now that a roadmap out of lockdown and a faster path to freedom are in place.
In February, 2001, footpaths were shut, events and sporting events stopped and sales of animals banned. Two decades ago the auction mart was stopped from opening. It would be 12 months before sales started again, causing huge anguish for farmers. For only the second time in its long history, the Craven Herald abandoned its traditional front page adverts and replaced it with the heartbreaking picture of Hellifield farmer Richard Barron standing among his herd of dairy cows which was slaughtered as a contiguous cull. The first occasion adverts were replaced was to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. On that fateful day in Hellifield, Mr Barron would lose 337 cattle and around 900 sheep.

CCM Auctions has become one of the first livestock marts in the UK to launch its own communications-boosting podcasts. The move is in direct response to the boom in digital audio and brings the mart right up to speed with an initiative designed to keep customers at the cutting edge of trade and trends. Now streaming live is The Farming Country Podcast. “It’s a brand-new initiative designed to keep customers old and new at the cutting edge of trade and trends at Skipton Auction Mart and out there in the wider agri-sector,” explained general manager and auctioneer Jeremy Eaton.
