Store Cattle
Hexham and Northern Marts held its weekly sale of Store Cattle and Suckled Calves with an increased entry of 171 cattle from across the North of England and Scottish Borders. More cattle forward this week resulted in an increased amount of purchasers. A very mixed entry of cattle with an increasing amount of dairy bred cattle now being presented here at Hexham and easily cashed with an ever-increasing amount of purchasers present for such sorts.
Trade again strong and possibly sharper on the week with all cattle eagerly bid for and quite a few buyers leaving short of numbers. The sale was led by a thumping Charolais cross steer from L R Carmichael & Son, Berwick Hill which realized £2750.00.
A strong contingent of Charolais and Limousin cross steers and heifers from Coquetdale producer, Mr F T Walton, Flotterton were highly sought after and sold to £2570.00 and £2520.00.
Leading the heifer trade was a pair of Pure Charolais heifers from JHC Campbell & Sons, Thrunton which sold to £2590.00.
Angus cross heifers from G & JH Tomlinson & Son, Sunniside sold to high of £2460.00.
A small offering of weaned and yearling cattle this week which sold well once again and to a high of £1840.00 twice for Limousin cross steers K Nixon, Hesleywell.
A pair of five-month-old Hereford heifer calves from C Anderson, Dunterley attracted great attention and sold to £900.00.
