Hexham Sale of Store Cattle & Store Sheep
CATTLE
A very seasonal entry for the time of year, but numbers up on the year once again with new vendors venturing from over the border bolstering the entry. A lesser entry this week with no forward, older feeding stores present. This did not affect the trade though, those that were forward were treated to a terrific trade and beyond all expectations with all classes dearer once again. With numbers being short nationally, demand for store cattle has finally risen.
Leading the sale this week with a fourteen-month-old Limousin heifer selling to £2090.00 from D & J Cowan, Shaftoe Moor. A pair of Angus’, a steer and a heifer from J Bennison, Warden Law sold to £2080.00
The yearling stirks sold well yet again and saw great demand and sold to £2070.00 for a Limousin cross heifer from J Hunter & Son, The Steel. JR & DW Robson, Close House run of Limousin bred stirks ageing 10-12 months saw a big trade with steers selling to £2030.00 and heifers to £1900.00.
More cattle now needed weekly to fulfil demand.
