Top Prices Friday 11th December - Weekly Sale of Store Cattle, Cast Cows & Calves Calves and Stirks What a fantastic entry of Calves for Lancaster’s Christmas Show with 172 forward met by equally strong demand. The Christmas Show was judged by Ian Lancaster, Wiswell who had some great calves to cast his expert eye over. The Championship rosette was awarded to David and Eileen Wallbank, Over Wyresdale for the seventh year in succession. This much admired British Blue heifer calf went onto sell for £440 purchased by the judge. The Reserve Champion rosette was awarded to WN & D Smith, Cockerham with the first prized continental bull calf a British Blue which sold to £480. From start to finish the demand was high for all specification of calves. Best quality continental bull calves regularly flew past the four hundred pound mark. Charolais bull calves topped at £490 from Stoney Lane Farm, Nateby. Other noted prices for British Blue bulls were £470 and £450 from G & ME Woodhouse & Son, Ellel with others to £460 and £445 AJ & AJ Gibbons, St Michaels on Wyre. Native bull calves sold to a top of £425 for Angus’ from J & G Thornley, Roseacre followed by others selling to £370 from David and Eileen Wallbank; plenty of native bull calves regularly selling in the mid three hundreds. Black and White bull calves met by plenty of bidder’s ringside ensuring a strong trade throughout the sale. Weanling Black and Whites led the way selling to £230 and £225 from RE & P Miller, Barnacre. Black and White bull calves on milk sold to £195 from David and Eileen Wallbank with plenty of the best quality rearing calves selling around £150 and more. A handful of stirks forward from Myerscough College, selling eight month old Angus bullocks to £625 with similar aged Black and White steers selling to £430.

Store Cattle Lancaster Auction held its Annual Show and Sale of Pairs of Store Cattle. The Championship pair and the Tom Owen Memorial Cup was awarded to DE & SM Moorhouse, Natland. This much admired pair of Limousin bullocks really caught the eye of our judge Tom Baldwin, Nantwich who we thank for his time and expertise, going on to purchase the Champions for £1,580. David Moorhouse purchased this pair of Bullocks out of J36 Suckler sale in March 2020 from B &SE Carter, Quernmore. The Second prize pair of bullocks from Mrs H Chapman and Son, Middleton sold to £1,400. Native bullocks topped at £1410 from S Kellet and Sons, Pilling with a pen of four followed by others selling to £1300 from ME & J Parker, Wennington. Angus heifers topped at £1330 from P & S Alpe, Waddington. Lancaster continues to have one of the strongest rings in the country for forward cattle with more cattle continually required each week to fulfil the busy ring of buyers we have. Dairy bullocks topped at £1,250 from K & DE Woodhouse, Ellel for Holstein Friesians.

Cast Cows and OTM Cattle.

A reduced number of Cast Cows about today which is understandable with the large numbers forward over previous weeks. An improved trade this week and more are required, especially to fulfil the ever growing demand from the large number of buyers present at Lancaster.

Topping the trade this week was a Limousin cow from loyal Lancaster supporters R H & C Ayrton, Abbystead making £1,238, not far behind was J Clarke, Lea at £1,206 also with a Limousin. Other beef bred cows making over £1,000 from H & K Hodgson, Barbon for Charolais at £1,039 and an Aberdeen Angus Cow at £1,015 from M Allen, Yealand. Friesian cows topped today at £1,139 from R T Halhead, Cockerham. Top price pence per kilo today was a Limousin cow at 189.5ppkg from R H & C Ayrton, with another at 179.5ppkg. Friesian cows from J C Hodgson, Dent to 159.5ppkg, all cows today averaged 121.37ppkg .OTM Heifers topped at £1,383 or 234.5ppkg from R H & C Ayrton, Abbeystead, with Friesian’s to £943 or 171.5ppkg from J G Thornley, Roseacre. A few more cast bulls about today saw Angus’ sell to £1,300 from Cote Farm Partnership, Nether Kellet.
