A much faster trade for bulls, the mediums
reached another gear. Only a hand full of best bulls today, top call at £360 for A Walley, next at £350
for Ferney Lees Farm Ltd. Simmentals for L E Weston at £350. Limousin’s to £290 for SR Harding.
Mediums £300-£340 looked very well sold, smalls harder to place but most were £220-£250.
CONTINENTAL HEIFERS
A super show of Blue heifers today, best types at £280-£320. With top marks for W Hodgson & Sons at
£325 and P&R Robinson at £322. Best Simmental to £265 for J&S Oakes with mediums trading at £200£240. Limousins were lacking in quality and numbers with the best coming to £210 for Les Allen. Young
& Smaller calves generally £160-£200.
NATIVE BULLS
The trade does not seem to stop on Native bulls! Best today at £300 for VP Challoner and £265 for C&S
Fitton’s Angus. Whilst Herefords traded to £252 for David Latham. Plenty of demand for all sorts but
particularly the mediums which looked very well sold at £220+. Plainer sorts still look dear at £120£180.
NATIVE HEIFERS
A flying trade for the heifers, many many more could have been sold!! Top call £226 for VP Challoner’s
Angus whilst Herefords traded to £195 for Graham Windsor. Mediums were particularly well sold at
£140-£180. Smalls were better on the week, £80-£120.
DAIRY BULLS
An absolute rip roaring trade. Some calves making over £100 which could have been £60 on another
week Black and Whites to £160 THREE times for A Walley, some younger sorts from PB Overy & Son
and £145 and £120. I would say trade has been £30 dearer from the last couple of weeks, very few
under £40. But credit to all vendors, a very good show of dairy bulls, all with shape and shine!
67 STORE CATTLE
Auctioneer: Jonathan Farrall
Nice to see a few more about and selling on a very sharp trade throughout. A ready market for just
about everything; young or old, big or small, Native or Continental.
Forward steers sold to an impressive £1145 for Mr Brian Coleclough, Adrian Piggott was “in amongst
it” at £1050 and £1030, top natives were Angus x from Messrs Siddorn at £940.
Heifers raced away to £1075 for a 31mo Lim from Mr Moore, Willington. A similar heifer at £1005 at
28mo and pick of the natives, Angus x, to £955 from Mr Parry, Wrexham.
A packed ringside of buyers looking for all classes of cattle every week at Beeston, why not try a few
next week.

42 BEEF CATTLE
Auctioneer: Simon Lamb 07815 188125
Steers to 190p or £1198 Heifers to 210p or £1354
More numbers about today with a pleasing trade throughout. Trade at Beeston would be as dear as
anywhere else, as anything out of speak (overage, overdone, none assured) difficult to sell. However
with heifers grossing £1354 for W B Ackerley or 210ppk for a Charolais, a good trade was seen on the
day. Topping the steers was R Cooke with a 34mo Limousin at 190ppk, with N Wilson takin top spot in
the lump at £1198.
More needed next week, please don’t keep them too long, as anything up to or over age much harder
to sell!!
Please REMEMBER they do not have to be TB tested to sell in the Beef Cattle Section. Don’t hesitate to
contact Simon for FREE marketing and on farm inspection. 07815 188125

Topping at 139.0p or £1066
FLYING TRADE ONE AGAIN!... AS BLACK AND WHITES AVERAGE 92.76!!!
Numbers remain similar to last week, with many more needed to fill current demand. Decent show in
terms of meat today in the dairies, with the best continuing to shine around the 105-120ppk mark,
dependant on weight, belly and age. Topping the pile in terms of pump was SFR farming with a 6yr old
Holstein grossing £1049. With a further 11 breaking the £1000 mark in the dairies. Younger Holstein in
the 130’s with the best at 134ppk from C Fernihough & Son. All that said the best trade would be the
heavy steakers selling towards a £1, and the plainer end! With some cattle looking a good 5-10pence
dearer on the week. More required next week, please keep myself informed of future entries
Guaranteed payment on the day if you collect!! BACS payment available! We’re here to help whenever
we can, call Simon on 07815 188125.
Today’s market average (mostly black and white), coming in at 93.43ppk or £615.50 per head.
(Everything in, including the lean, mean, lame and loopy!)
Dairy bred cows averaging 92.76 pence or £597.22 per life. Black and white cows traded throughout the
day at 105p to 120p for meated cows, 85p to 100p for steakers, 70p to 85p for stronger plain cows and
30p to 65p there after! Continentals peaked at 125p or £925, dairy bred to 139p or £1066 and Bulls to
95p or £931.
