605 PRIME LAMBS
10.00 am – Auctioneer: Chris Voyce
Overall Average –165p/kg
As in most years the trade takes a big dip Three Counties Show week with low
trades reported everywhere this week and a big drop in the deadweight price.
Today’s sale included the Three Counties Show Live & Dead lamb competition
and saw a wonderful show of quality forward. The best handyweight lambs
traded between 180 – 200p/kg with the Champion lambs topping at 292p/kg
£111for 38kg from Mr J T Hartland. The general run of lambs just starting to
lack a touch of finish were harder to place trading between 155 – 170p/kg.
MORE NEEDED EACH WEEK
All sheep publicly weighed and can return home if not satisfied with the price.

213 STORE CATTLE
11.30 am - Auctioneer: Jon Pullin

A pleasing number forward up 52% on the corresponding week last year. The
entry saw mostly smaller cattle forward with a good trade throughout.
The Continental x steers (24 – 30mnths) were very short in supply with the
quality lacking. The better shaped sorts traded over £700 topping at £755
(135p/kg) for Limousin steers from Mr H J Caswell, Wanborough.
The strong Continental heifers were also very short supply and sold to a good
trade with the better sorts over £700 topping at £900 (102p/kg) for an overage
British Blue from M/s A Brodie & Son, Whitbourne.
The farming cattle (18 – 24mnths) saw a mixed show of cattle forward with the
steers in short supply trading over £720 for the better shaped sorts topping at
£870 (150p/kg) for Charolais steers from M/s A & W Hancock, Slad. The
general run of Continental steers traded between £650 - £700 (125 – 135p/kg).
The heifers (18 – 24mnths) were also a firm trade with the few stronger, better
shaped sorts over £650 topping at £775 (155p/kg) for Charolais’ from M/s A &
W Hancock, Slad.
The younger steers (12 – 18mnths) sold to a very good trade with the best
Continental steers selling between £650 - £690 (135 – 160p/kg) topping at £740
(128p/kg) for a Limousin steer from Mr P Scott, Minety. The general run of
Continental steers traded between £520 - £600 (125 – 145p/kg). The native
breeds saw Aberdeen Angus steers to £655 (162p/kg) from Mr R Pollard,

4 BEEF CATTLE
11.30 am – Auctioneer: Jon Pullin
Finished cattle desperately short due not only to time of year, but the fact that
many of our regular suppliers are under TB restrictions giving the direct buyers
even greater scope to squash prices and reduce farmers margins on cattle.
Colin and Josephine Smart sold 400 kg Blonde heifers at 116p with a run of
Friesian and Norwegian Red bulls from Bruce Willis 435-440 kg well sold at
105p, 120p and 126ppkg. Plenty of demand, and Vendors could do well to try
and few cattle back through the ring at Cirencester.
34 BARREN COWS & OTM CATTLE
11.30 am – Auctioneer: Jon Pullin
Cows 111p/kg Steers 132p/kg Heifers 122p/kg
One of the best shows of quality barrens and older steers and heifers seen for
some time with a superb trade to match. 6 buyers around the ring battling for
every beast resulting in a superb trade for all types on offer.
Overage steers saw 710kg Limousin from M Organ make 140p providing a
reminder to farmers not to squander under finished cattle just because they are
close to time. There was no penalty for weight with this beast and I am
uncertain that deadweight would have produced such an excellent price. Colin
Smart sold Highland steers to 123p and overage heifers topped at 128-134p for
640/660 kg. Angus from Eric Gash. Blue heifers from S R & W Ball,
Charfield made 129p.
M A Maslin sold their Simmental bull 910 kg at 118p grossing £1073.
In the cow section, trade was similarly buoyant with 21 of the 24 on offer
acheiving over 100p pkg. Plain Friesians traded 73-80p the medium fleshed
cows very well sold 93-95p 600-690kg cows.
S R & W Ball consigned quality beef cows topped by a 1 st quality Belgian Blue
cow 700 kg at 170p per kg. Limousin cows trade 130-140p from the same
home with lesser shaped Continental x cows 110-116p pkg.
The Friesian trade was also strong. Top was John and Angela Livalls cow
weighing 650kg at 117p (£744) with P J & S R Bennett completing a good
week of sales with their Friesians at 106p (twice), 108p and 109p. Their 830 kg
cow grossing just short of £900. Medium Friesian traded 95-102ppkg and only
1 cow under 93p.
Next Thursday 24th June is a special sale of barren cows with further
numbers required for an expectant ring of buyers.
