On Monday Penrith & District Farmers’ Mart LLP held their fortnightly Sale of 345 Store Cattle & Feeding Bulls, this included a prize show and sale for the bullocks and heifers.
The pre-sale show was expertly judged by John Little, Penrith, who awarded the champion rosette to a cracking Limousin cross bullock from Mr B Walton, Goodlie Hill Farm, this beast later went on to realise £2000, purchased by Messrs R F Towers, Lancaster.
Reserve honours went to the first prize heifer from Messrs Hodgson, Woodfoot for a Limousin cross, which later sold for £1480, selling to Messrs J & J Mather, Kelso.
Demand exceeded expectation with a wonderful show of cattle forward. Messrs D W & T A Bell, High Dyke Farm sold a consignment of nine Limousin X British Blue Bullocks to average £1607.22, topping at £1865.
A super Limousin X British Blue Heifer, 26-month-old from Mr A Littleton, Demesne achieved £1735, selling to Mr James Mather.
