Store Cattle 060622

On Monday Penrith & District Farmers’ Mart LLP held their fortnightly Sale of 201 Store Cattle.

As store cattle numbers tighten the demand seems to be strengthening, with four cattle achieving over £2000 per head, topping at £2255 for a Limousin cross British Blue bullock, 20-months-old, from Mr B Duffton, Aberdeen, purchased by Mr W Barker.

A pair of dairy-bred British Blue bullocks, 20-months-old topped at £1686 from Messrs HM & R Ivinson & Sons, Hole House, Ousby, with this consignment averaging £1525.

Heifers topped at £2000 for a Limousin cross British Blue, with numerous others in excess of £1200 per head, way in front of other markets across the country.

Our next sale is on Monday 20th June and includes the Latter Fair sale of beef breeding cattle, entries close noon Monday 13th June.
