Prime cattle show honours change

Easter prime cattle highlight

Beef farming families who have ruled the roost at Skipton Auction Mart’s prime cattle shows so far this year again clinched principal honours at this week’s annual Easter show and sale. (Monday, March 29) Yorkshire Dales brothers Charles and Richard Kitching, took the overall title with a British Blue-x heifer, while North Craven father and son, Francis and Andrew Smith, sent out the reserve champion Limousin-x bullock. The Kitchings, of Grisedale Farm, who stood both champion and reserve at the previous monthly show at the beginning of March, returned to claim another victory at the seasonal highlight with an exceptional 570kg heifer originally acquired from Tom Robinson in Slaidburn.

Prime cattle trade unprecedented

TRADE continued at unprecedented levels at Skipton Auction Mart’s weekly prime cattle sale when top gross price of £1,604 (232.5p/kg) fell to a 690kg Limousin-x heifer consigned by Charles Stanton, of Clitheroe, making a welcome return after a lengthy absence to the Skipton cattle ring. It was purchased by Halifax meat wholesalers J&E Medcalf on behalf of A&D Meats in Rossendale. Sheila Mason, who runs the Keasden herd in Clapham, claimed top per kilo call of 267.5p/kg (£1,391) with her 520kg British Blue-x heifer. It was knocked down to Robert Pearson for his Ralph Pearson Wholesale Butchers in Bradford, whose nine acquisitions also included the leading per kilo steer, a 570kg Limousin-x from North Craven father and son regulars, Francis and Andrew Smith, of Masongill, at 261.5p/kg (£1,491).
