On Friday Penrith & District Farmers’ Mart LLP held their fortnightly sale of 81 Rearing Calves and Stirks.

A smaller show of calves and stirks was forward on the fortnight, demand was still equally as strong with purchasers going home empty handed.
The sale topped at £650 for a pair of eight-month-old Aberdeen Angus cross bullocks from Mr B Hogg, Cairnbridge Farm, selling to Mr A Ross.
Black & Whites sold to a top of £300 for a three-month-old stirk from Messrs JH & JE Taylor, The Harras, bought by Mr D Holgate.
Young calves sold to a sharper trade, with more local farmer customers forward looking to buy. Messrs AD & FE Elliott, Askrigg Hall sold four-week-old British Blue cross bull calves to £400, selling to Mr W Bowman. The same home achieved £280 & £275 for three-week-old Fleckvieh calves.
Messrs JA Ritson, Baggra Yeat sold four-week-old Limousin calves to £480, selling to Mr P Bousfield.
Several new vendors were taking advantage of our successful sale here on a Friday, with all classes and breeds required between one week and twelve-months-old.
