A great atmosphere in the ring and a full house in the house. Our thanks go to the
judge David Knowles from Kendal for a decisive and efficient job. Also thank you to
Dugdale Nutrition for sponsorship along with NMR and many others who supported
us today. One or two faces were missing today- so come on John Dodgson get
yourself fit for next week!
What about the trade? We didn’t break any records at the top end with the £2000
bid barrier broken six times with a top of £2280 but second quality cattle with plenty
of milk were very clear in comparison.
Messrs Blockley bought Lee Donkin’s champion at £2220.00 plus Bargh Bros at
£2100. Lee Donkin’s third prize heifer went to Clem Talbot at £2120.00. Geoff Booth
was in the running with a 2nd lactation cow at £1800.00 to KR & C Hill Wrexham, they
also took his 2nd prize pedigree heifer at £2000.00. GW Whitwell brought a strong
team of heifers at £1840 and £1810 and a 3rd lactation cow at £1800.00. Despite
milk prices being under pressure there was some keen bidding today especially for
milky older cows.
In calf heifers were a dream to sell with Dave Richardson selling at £1480 and 1420
to Will Shuttleworth and David and Jim Nowell at £1200 to Dave Mattinson.
NEXT WEEK is our regular weekly sale with 20-30 on offer. DON’T
FORGET the Cogent Pedigree Show on 20th December. All entries
welcome, please give us a try. Entries for the pedigree show catalogue to

A decent entry of 161 calves. A tale of two halves today - good calves were very
good trade but second quality were less money, especially the heifers!
Alan Bowker topped with a quartet of Blue bulls at £480 each; AJ & AJ Gibbons
£428, £425, £422, £418 and £408 and J & P A Baldwin & Sons also above £400.
Plenty of nice Blue heifers £300 - £370, but an ordinary sort could be bought around
£200.
Limousin bulls topped at £352 and heifers at £310. A beautiful Charolais heifer from
John Lees sold for £395.

Dairy Auctioneer Fred Spurgeon. Auctioneer’s Clerk: Val Lawson
Despite large numbers of cows on offer this week we had a good weekly entry of 33
and a keen crown round the ring. An impressive heifer from Richard Bainbridge
made a well deserved £2,180. Next in line was Andrew Wensley at £1,930. There
was nothing less than £1,000 in today’s sale with some third and fourth lactation
dispersal cows making up to £1,500.
NEXT WEEK is COGENT CHRISTMAS SHOW with a good entry from regular
vendors and please remember everybody is welcome!

A quieter day this week with 95 calves through the door. Top Blue bulls over £400 to
a high of £490. Several younger types in the £350-£400 range. Several younger
types in the £350-£400 range. The best Blue heifers over £300 to a high of £330.
Several in the £250-£300 range and generally the second quality heifers were better
to sell today than last week.
Limousin bulls sold to a high of £360 and sweet young heifers to £245. Simmentals
topped at £290. Not as many Angus about today but still a nice trade, bulls to £285
and heifers to £160.
Black & Whites varies! A beautiful proper black British Friesian type sold well at
£160. Most of the other rearing types £50 to £70.
NEXT WEEK 20th December is our last calf and stirk sale of the year and we expect
a full attendance of buyers. Stirk vendors please ring 01200 441351 prior to
Tuesday lunch time with entries for the catalogue. Although the auction is open for

calf sale on the 27th. The next sale after next week is Thursday 3rd January. Thank
you.

14 at £2000 or more and 20 over £1800.00. Non pedigrees from Bargh Brothers
made to £2100.00 to Ted Walton and £2000 to Messrs Blockley.

Calf Auctioneer Rachel Capstick. Clerk: Anna Robinson
What a trade for the last calf sale of 2018! All breeds fantastic to sell. Blue bulls to
£500 for a batch of 7 from Alan Bowker. Plenty of others either side of £400. The
Blue heifers were the trade of the day plenty about £300. £375 x 3, £360, £355,
£350, £328.
Simmental, Limousins, the Angus and Herefords sold very well too, even the Black
and Whites got away for better than anticipated.
A handful of stirks followed and again sold well for the goods on offer today.
Next calf and stirk sale is Thursday 3rd January. Wishing all our customers a
Happy Christmas and look forward to seeing you all for a busy January 2019.
