2 The mood was much more positive today in the dairy ring and in general prices were slightly up on last week. It seems the 2000 barrier will have to be something special. Top price a homebred heifer at 1950 from David Graveston to Wick Williams. Harold Ward achieved 1940 to Richard Clayton. In Calf heifers bucked the trend selling 1780, 1720 & 1700 from Malcolm Bretton and Alan Harker achieved Next week is Dugdales Dairy Show with 60+ expected-look out from next week s dairy text. The third production sale of Holstein Friesian bulling heifers from David & Sue Graveston met a strong trade from regular buyers and local farmers. With forty cattle on offer all shown to a very high standard along with BVD free status these heifers would suit any buyer. The young heifers especially by named sires sold well to 980 & 960. They averaged 869-these cattle were a pleasure to sell and a credit the vendor.

Averaging 172p/Kg or 71 per head this morning there were less lambs forward than last week when more were expected and more could have been sold to vendors advantage. Lots of weight about this morning and in general most commercial types out of Mules would be around the per head mark with ¾ bred lambs up and over the 200p/Kg mark. Cast sheep slightly harder to sell as Ramadan now draws to a close however Mules still at 70 per head and horned ewes 55 a piece.

8 Auctioneers comment: With a full compliment of buyers trade remains strong and very pleasing at Gisburn prime lamb auction. Price up again on the previous week with more lambs now coming forward in number. Overall average today of 183p/Kg or per head. Most commercial sorts out of mules at over their weight or between 175p/Kg 185p/Kg. Best lambs with a nice pen of 6 Beltex from K Purtill, Wigan at 207p/Kg and others from W A Towler, Grindleton at 200p/Kg. Top price came from A Phillipson at 97 per head closely followed by A & G Pendlebury at per head. Lightweight lambs very good to sell looking dear on the week. Cast ewes harder to cash today with a lot of plainer freshly weaned ewes finding their way to the sale ring and the close of ethnic festivals imminent.

With approximately the same number of lambs forward this week as last week trade was slightly better where more lambs could have been sold to vendors advantage. An overall average of 180p/Kg or 73 per head would show a 2 increase on the week but accounting for a bigger number of heavy lambs forward. With new buyers in attendance all weights and qualities were well sold. Some great runs of lighter weight lambs from S & P J Scrivin to per head or 197p/Kg whilst heavy weighted lambs topped at 88 per head from F & H Waddington, Bolton by Bowland. Commercial types out of mules sold from 175p/Kg to 185p/Kg very regularly. Cast ewes and rams less in number but remaining a strong trade topping at 97 per head for ¾ bred Texels and 125 for Suffolk Rams more needed to meet buyers requirements.
