Easter Monday – Market Closed
Top call came for Steve and Susan Becks 9mth Blue Steer
which flew to £740, with pen mates at £660. Heifers from
the same good home saw strong bidding to £630.
A pair Simmental Bulls from J Wainwright and Sons
reached £580 at 6mths, while 4 month old Blues from MJ &
MC Thomasson sold to £520 x 4 and a pair of Hereford bulls
from the same home realised £455.
Cow Making heifers were the order of the day with an
absolute corker from G S & A Sheard at just over 5mths
realising £610, 7 mth sorts from R M & E Jones £570. An
even bunch of 5 Simmentals from J Wainwright and Sons
exceeded expectations at £530 while sweet 4 month old Blue
heifers from Thomassons made £468. Angus Heifers to £400
With current trends in the Black and Whites from the meat
processors very negative, trade for these bulls was
suppressed. However the younger they were the better sold
with 5 4mths to £240.

May, please do not hesitate to contact Jonny Dymond 07703

VENDORS
PLEASE COMPLETE AN ENTRY CARD FOR ALL
SECTIONS
- WITH FULL DETAILS AND IT IS IMPERATIVE TO HAVE
YOUR CORRECT DETAILS REGARDING TB (PARISHES &
TESTING DATES) AND YOU HAVE COMPLETED AN
ENTRY CARD ESPECIALLY REGARDING YOUR FARM
ASSURANCE STATUS.
YOU MAY LOSE OUT ON PRICE IF YOU DO NOT
SUPPLY THE RIGHT INFORMATION
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

However as the poorer quality prime cattle move closer to
the price of the best cows some product substitution could be
made which may result in the cow trade easing. Please
contact Simon for his predictions on the forth coming trade
and when to market your cows to their best ability.

BEEF
CATTLE
EVERY FRIDAY AT approximately 12noon
STORE CATTLE
Every Friday
(To commence after the sale of the beef approximately 12.30pm)
Prices peaked at 198p or £1,312.50
Low numbers again as vendors choose to sell their cattle in
the store section. These seem to be better sold in this section
(due to them not being completely finished).
This week top price realised £1312.50 at 750kg for a
Aberdeen Angus Steer in the Store cattle section top price
realised £1340 at 670kg for a Limousin Steer. There is more
demand at the moment for stores than the beef section and
maybe it would be more profitable for many to stop feeding
your cattle and let someone else do it.
This is mainly driven by the deadweight processors insisting
on contracting quotas to their customers and blaming
supermarkets poor sales on red meat as it has been a mild
spring.
If you have some cattle to market prices at Beeston are in
line with every other local outlet even if it is a Friday!! For
further details please do not hesitate to contact Alastair
Brown 07831 395167 who will be pleased to assist you
market your cattle to their best ability.
REMEMBER PAYMENT IS MADE ON THE DAY
within minutes after the sale of your cattle.
