Sales dogged by wet weather View from the Rostrum
Poignant moments for Scott Donaldson at H&H
Last week we marked Harrison and Hetherington’s 50 years at Borderway Mart and what a week of celebrations we had.
This included prize shows and sales of prime and store cattle, young calves and prime and store lambs.
For me, one of the most poignant moments of the week was last Friday, 50 years to the day since the opening of Borderway Auction Centre, when the first animal offered in the ring was sold by Michael Dickie.
Michael joined Harrison & Hetherington in 1960 and was an auctioneer when the company moved from Botchergate and Earl Street, Carlisle, to the new premises at Rosehill.
Under his hammer went a Suffolk ewe from Glynis and Taylor Soulsby from Williamsgill Farm, Temple Sowerby, Penrith, which sold for £440.
This summer has been disappointing, with very few fine days and certainly up here in the North of England there has never been what you could call a warm dry spell.
As a result, all livestock has suffered. After what was an exceptionally wet and challenging lambing, lambs have not enjoyed the sun on their backs for any length of time.
Consequently, the general consensus is that this year’s lambs are at least
three to four weeks behind where they should be.
Lamb numbers through our prime sheep centres here have in general been slow to come forward.
However, against this trend, as more deadweight sellers return to the live market to achieve the true value of their stock, Borderway has enjoyed increased throughput.
Buoyant trade
The lamb trade looks set to remain buoyant as stories of poor lambings and schmallenberg disease in the South mean fewer numbers on the ground, creating a shortage of supply.
The early breeding sheep sales have probably been even better than anticipated, although we should not really be surprised, as huge numbers of ewe hoggs were brought to market during the height of the spring
For any enquiries contact
Dafydd Davies - 07506 083590 dafydd@farmersmarts.co.uk
hogg market when heavy hoggs were trading at more than £250 regularly.
As we head into the main autumn sales, we expect breeding sheep numbers to be tight and trade to be strong.
Early sales in the South have reported Mule shearlings at more than £200. This is bound to reflect on the Mule ewe lamb sales when they begin, firstly with Scotch Mules at St Boswells on the September 5, then on to North of England Mules at Kirkby Stephen on September 13.
These will be followed by Middleton-in-Teesdale on September 18, Carlisle on September 19 and the Alston Moor Sale at Lazonby on the September 25.
And on September 13, we can look forward to an outstanding entry of nearly 3,800 tups going under the hammer in the Border Union Kelso ram sales.
H&H has a total of 1,532 rams forward and we are expecting an impressive line-up of premium quality stock.
In the cattle rings, trade across all departments from prime to rearing calves and stirks, stores and dairy heifers has been very strong all summer, and across the board, August is bringing with it even more demand. Confidence is high and values have followed this rising demand.
The effects of the weather on arable crops and silage mean feed and bedding will undoubtedly prove to be a problem this winter, as stories of poor yielding crops and very little straw filter through the farming community. Livestock farmers are expecting there to be higher input costs for these.
Entries
Looking forward, we have no shortage of entries of the finest cattle and sheep from across the country for our Agri Expo autumn livestock showcase on November 1, despite there still being some time until entries close.
This year, we will be marking the 18th time we have hosted this Autumn event at Borderway and it is always such a pleasure to see all sectors of our livestock industry so well represented.

Property Landscape Autumn will see fewer new launches on market
Modest increase of 1.7% in farmland values
In my experience, this year’s farmland market has been one of the most intense in terms of new launches, particularly for commercial and investment farms and estates over 1,000 acres. In January, we forecast that the supply of farmland would continue its upward trajectory, with the market returning to historic average levels of supply.
So far this has played out, and the extremely poor weather early on compressed the spring marketing window. According to our research, this meant that of the total 118,232 acres publicly marketed during the first six months of this year, 93,435 came onto the market from April onwards.
Looking at the size of farms marketed at a regional level in all parts of the country except from the West Midlands, there was an increase in the number of larger holdings (over 500 acres) marketed compared to 2023.
investment estates and commercial farms, potential buyers are particularly focused on the income returns that can be achieved and the opportunity for capital growth and reduction in costs through investment and alternative uses.
Looking ahead, following the busy late spring market, our view is there will be fewer autumn launches. The harvest has undoubtedly provided a mixed bag in terms of yields, but the weather has been better than many predicted, meaning crops have at least left the field.
Budget
Applying the simple economic principal of supply and demand, we might have expected the increase in supply to have a knock-on effect on average farmland values. However, this was not the case – overall farmland values for Great Britain showed a modest increase of 1.7% in the 12 months to the end of June, averaging £8,242 per acre.
There is some uncertainty around what might be announced in the new Government’s first Budget, and for anyone undecided on whether to go to the market or not, there is a sense of sitting and waiting to see what the Budget delivers.
However, behind this there are significant price variances based on location and land quality. Our farmland value survey shows that at the same point in time, average prime arable land values were £10,140 per acre and average livestock land values were at £7,121 per acre.
Best in class
During economically pressured times, farmland remains a popular investment choice, as it is a safe haven and provides a stable return over a long holding period. However, it is not completely insulated from economic and political pressures; current interest rates and uncertainty over future potential capital taxation changes are influencing decision-making for some sellers and buyers.
Following the marketing of several farms and estates, ranging from prime residential estates to substantial farming portfolios, it is clear there is strong buyer appetite for best-inclass properties across all sectors. However, they are more selective, so presentation of a property and pragmatic pricing is paramount. Increasingly, in the case of rural
Judging from past experience, further cuts to the interest rate and clarity on the outcome of the Budget will boost market sentiment as the cost of borrowing falls.
