Store Cattle 250923
On Monday Penrith & District Farmers’ Mart LLP held their Annual Michaelmas Prize Show & Sale of 592 Store Cattle & Feeding Bulls, kindly sponsored by PFK Rural.
Our pre-sale show was expertly judged by Mr Thomas Toppin, Gale Hall, who placed a lovely 16-month-old Limousin cross bullock from Messrs GT & CA Blezard, Scale House Farm, which later realised £1660 purchased by Bolster Moor Farm Shop. Reserve Champion honours went to Messrs Bindloss, Shap Abbey for their first prize Limousin heifer, selling for £1450 to Mr J Crichton.
A big thank you goes to our show sponsor PFK Rural and all exhibitors who brought cattle forward to show, show results were as follows: -
