10 COWS & CALVES
11.30 am - Auctioneer: Chris Voyce
9 in-calf cows for Mr Leonard Irvine sold £520 with four over £500
to average near £460.
170 STORE CATTLE
11.30 am - Auctioneer: Chris Voyce
A tremendous entry for the first post foot and mouth sale. A good
crowd of keen buyers were in attendance, the majority of calves on
offer whilst being a touch older than usual were of the highest
quality, the majority having been running with the cows since the
shut down and this enabled superb prices to be realised throughout
the morning.
A better than expected trade having regard to the 20 day movement
controls, with almost total clearance (4 young heifers entry unsold).
Cattle were brought to Cirencester from as far afield as Reading,
Worcester and Goring on Thames. The top price was £580 for a
Hereford x Friesian steer from Hubert Hall with Hazell & Jefferies
heifers topping the heifer sale at £555.
Friesians: 10 forward topping at £85 from R C Ponting & Son, best
rearing types generally £30-£48. 2nd quality £14-£25.
Mrs J Philips of Foxham had 32 suckled Limousin steers and heifers
(Sept 06/Jan07 born) selling to £422 for steers and £345 for heifers.
Hereford: Only 3 bulls on offer topped at £204 for B J & D Reeves,
£176 and £154 for P J & S Bennett. Heifers topped 4 times for P
Gumm at £60 per head.
Martin Parkes, Castle Moreton sold 20 yearling of steers and heifers
with his Belgian Blue topping his sale at £338.
Charolais: Bulls a tremendous trade topping at £215 for R A
Williams, Tytherington, heifers topped at £122 and £121 for E & V
Kidner.
22 from Messrs Windell, Allengrove farm saw Hereford x steers to
£460 (Mar 06) with others £378 (June 06) and £352 (Aug 06). Their
Hereford x heifers sold to £320 (April 06) and Friesian steers (June
06) to £250.
Simmental: As strong a trade as experienced all year. £240 top for
B Gough & Sons, B J & D Reeves sent a tremendous run of bulls off
the cows selling at £212, £214, £214, £225 and £226. Their heifers
also lead the way at £154 and £108. M/s B Gough & Sons heifer
£138.
Hazell & Jefferies, Goring on Thames sold 14 feeding heifers with
Hereford x to £555 (108), Hereford x £518 (99) and Angus £458
(92).
Limousins: Probably the best run of this breed seen in Cirencester.
M/s R A Williams topped with a fresh bull at £252. Anton Smith
consigned 3 bulls at £232, £230 and £224. Colin Davies travelled
across the river to achieve 3 bulls over £200 peaking at £211. M/s D
H & U Smart made £226 of their bull and a run from R C Ponting &
Son reached £228 and £200.
Heifers in strong demand. M/s Reeves topped at £152, Anton Smith
sold a run at £111, £128, £133 and £144. 15 forward averaged £115.
Belgian Blue: £234 best today for P J & S Bennett, 3 smart bulls
from R J D Taylor at £180, £224 and £228. Some medium smaller
bulls on offer trading at £130 - £140. Heifers topped at £160 for P J
& S Bennett, £152 and £138 for R J D Taylor. Heifers averaged
£147.
Aberdeen Angus: Bulls topped at £162 for G Hale & Sons, £130 for
P Gumm medium bulls £70-£80, heifers to £68.
MRI: Two smart bulls from D H & U Smart made £88 and £60.
Regular weaned calf consignors, Stevens Farms saw 3 best Hereford
heifers (March 07) reach £160 per head, 3 Angus heifers of a similar
age, but slightly smaller made £128 per head.
Overall a superb trade was experienced at Cirencester today with all
Vendors delighted with the prices achieved. Those selling to the calf
groups have again been fooled into believing that prices are back as
a result of foot and mouth and would be well advised to again utilise
their local market and sell to the real live trade as opposed to the
fixed calf group prices.
Mr C Sutton, Chiseldon sold 15 Simmental x blonde steers with his
Simmental x £562 (103), £478 (105) and Blonde £572 (115), £530
(114).
Messrs Breakspear & Son from Reading made to £448 (112), £440
(121) for Simmental x steers and £380 and £318 (106) for Simmental
x heifers. Their Hereford x heifers made £325 (88).
Steers averaged £383 and heifers £342 with overall average of £365
for 170 head, a very good entry having regard to restrictions on
movement and short notice for sales to commence this week.
