Another father and son team from Eldroth saw David & George Whitewell take 1820 for their 1 st prize cow which went to Tom Green of Wigan. P Knowles of Kendal was next highest price at 1660 to JJ & JD Graves, Carlisle. The trade was generally much slower than the last three weeks with lots of respectable heifers between There is a lot of enthusiasm around the ring but we really do need some more money into farmer s bank accounts. A run of long dated incalf heifers sold above expectations making up to 1120 to David Shuttleworth. Bulling heifers were a mixed bag and some smart weaned calves from Maurice Johnson at 420 were nicely sold.

Lambs, however, a better than anticipated trade, especially meated and farm assured lambs. Running at 185 p/kg for the first half of the sale but then dropped off as quality dwindled. With 10 buyers present ringside averages would meet with other centres today. Ewes would be the trade of the month with a clash of buyers and up per head across the board for all types and qualities.

There was a distinct lack of well meated prime lambs this morning those that were sold well enough in the 190pences, let s see if we can get more nicely fleshed 40-45kg lambs next Saturday they are what is wanted! Breeding ewes next. Correct ewes sold to a decent trade. Shearlings were as expected. Better sorts of s could do , others generally , Mules similar. Swaledale shearlings from Andrew Atkinson sold to a packed ring topping at 122. Today was our second show and sale of both Mule and Continental gimmer lambs kindly sponsored by Carrs Billington and judged by Peter Fox (schedule below). The general concensus of expert opinion was that the Mule gimmer trade in Gisburn today compared favourably to other centres in the North of England during these past couple of weeks. The best Continental gimmers got away very well. Outwith the show, highlights included pure s from Keith Parker to 260, Rouge from Mrs Capstick (no relation) to 112! Tom Brass from Appleby topped at 74 for his run of Lleyn gimmers. Some second quality gimmers would actually be better sold in the prime or store sections. Store lambs were simply a right trade. The new penning system encouraged vendors to show in bigger lots and this was well received by buyers. A massive thanks to all the staff today who worked very hard indeed to make things run as smoothly as possible. The new unloading system worked much better but, please please do not abandon vehicles on the docks!

Several pens made over the 2 per kilo mark from Lynne Marsden (222.5p, 205p, 201p x 2; Robert Canning 216p and 210p and Janet Parrington 207p).
