North West Auctions Weekly Report and Newsletter – 23rd December
Dressed Poultry Sale Monday 21st December The evening sale of ‘oven-ready’ Christmas poultry saw approximately 500 birds forward, with a large crowd of buyers present from local villages and towns, keen to purchase their Christmas dinner. They were spoilt for choice from the quality of entry of birds presented for sale. Geese sold to £90 for a 14lb goose, from Mrs S Garnett, with others at £75 & £72. Ducks sold to £25 for a 8lb duck from Mr J H Clarke, with others at £24 & £23. Chickens sold to £33 for a 14lb chicken from Messrs Jenkinson, with others at £27, £26 & £24. Perhaps the best show of Turkeys seen for several years sold to in excess of vendors’ expectation, with birds generally within either side of £2/lb, dependant on the weight. The heaviest bird of the evening was a 37lb turkey from R Hodgson which sold for £70, with other heavy birds £55 to £62. Handy weight birds, 12-14lb, sold in excess of £3/lb, with bronze turkeys in short supply and selling to £38 for a 13lb turkey from Messrs Jenkinson.
