IMPORTANT NOTICE
FARM ASSURANCE
Due to the Farm assurance body unable to give us a real time
database or actual up to date information on your assurance status
we rely on YOU the producers to give us the correct information.
Therefore if you present your cattle as farm assured when they are
not this is a misdescription and you are representing your cattle
fraudulently.
When the animal gets to the abattoir they have specific outlets for
these animals and often don’t for nonfarm assured stock so they
deduct massively. This is due to the time and loss of animal to the
batch that was bought for a specific job.
They cannot be returned from an abattoir therefore you are in their
hands. The deduction could be £150.
PLEASE GIVE US THE CORRECT INFORMATION

PRESS
RELEASE
GO AHEAD GIVEN FOR £50 MILLION CHESHIRE
FRESH AUCTION CENTRE AND RURAL
BUSINESS HUB IN CHESHIRE.
Approval has finally been given for a proposed new Auction
Centre and Rural Business Hub close to junction 18 of the
M6, following submission of a proposal by two well-known
firms of Auctioneers, Estate Agents and Valuers, Frank
Marshall LLP and Wright Manley LLP, in conjunction with
Pochin Land and Development.
The two firms have previously announced their intention to
merge this coming April into the new firm of WRIGHT
MARSHALL. Landlords of both the existing sites at
Chelford and Beeston have obtained planning consent for
alternative development and Partners in the two businesses
felt the best way to safeguard and improve their diverse
auctioneering businesses was to develop a new Centre with
purpose built facilities, in an accessible location.
Nationally renowned developers Pochin were able to offer a
suitable site, together with the required planning and
development experience and expertise, and at last
Thursday’s meeting of the Strategic Planning Committee at
Cheshire West and Chester Council, the proposal was
approved.
Gwyn Williams, Partner in Frank Marshall said “We are
delighted with the outcome, which now guarantees the
survival and future growth of our long established
auctioneering business. We currently conduct nearly £60
million worth of business on behalf of the rural economy
and believe that this new, state of the art, Auction Centre
will enable us to build upon the success of our diverse
auctioneering business”.
The current markets hold extensive sales of livestock and
farm produce, horticultural produce, agricultural and
contractors plant and machinery, attracting vendors and
buyers from throughout the UK.
The merger of the two businesses brings together not only
the auctioneering expertise, but also 8 Estate Agency and
Valuation offices throughout the region, along with an
internationally-renowned Fine Arts business conducted from
two salerooms.
Nigel Eckersley, Partner in Wright Manley, commented “We
recognise the potential of the CHESHIRE FRESH
development at Middlewich to provide high quality and
purpose built facilities suitable for modern day requirements.
The forthcoming merger of our businesses into WRIGHT
MARSHALL offers potential for an exceptional business to
be located in this region, the consent we have now obtained
being the first step towards the development of a business
able to compete with the very best in the UK”.

REPORT
10000 GNS RECORD BREAKER FROM
PICSTON STEALS THE SHOW
AT BEESTON FOCUS MILK SALE
The Western Club’s March Focus Milk Show and Sale
attracted an entry of 40 cows and heifers for its monthly
event. Henry Sanderson of the Lancashire based Sandley
Herd judged the sale and for his champion he selected
Picston Spitfire Baby (VG89-3yr) (EX-MS) consigned by
Spotacre Farms of Hilderstone, Stone. In reserve was Bidlea
Trendsetter Mab 2nd (GP82-2yr) from Ray Brown &
Partners of Holmes Chapel.
The star of the sale was undoubtedly the Champion animal
for which there was lots of hype and quite rightly so. This
was a wonderful young cow with tremendous power and
width but yet still dairy and she had a quite fabulous udder.
She scored a maximum 89 points in her second lactation
having calved at the beginning of December. This daughter
of the Goldwyn son, Riverdane Spitfire, was sold giving 56
kg daily. As you can imagine there was a huge amount of
interest in her prior to sale with five potential bidders on the
phone alone. The bidding opened at 4000 gns and quickly
rose to the final bid of 10000 gns when the hammer was
knocked down at 10000 gns to Cyril Millar of Coleraine,
Northern Ireland for his Millars Herd.
The next three top prices were also purchased by Dyfrig
Davies of Pencader Carmarthenshire whose leading
purchase was Bidlea Saratoga Ariane (VG85-2yr) and 8th
generation in the top two grades from Ray Brown and
Partners.
