Longtown Store Cattle Sale Report
C&D Auction Marts Ltd held their Annual Prize Show and Sale of 456 Store Cattle on Saturday 4th October 2025.
An outstanding show of seriously well bred cattle, mainly 11-16m of age was forward to a packed ring of purchasers ensuring all classes were in serious demand. Credit to the vendors who put on a show of cattle that had to be seen to be believed, second to none.
Judging was carried out by Miss Katrina Donaldson, Hazel House who had a very difficult task in front of her due to the quality placed before her.
Topping the sale was a fine example of the breed, a very square, shapely Limousin steer realising £2,580, consigned by M/s Rushton, Nirvana, Carlisle this run of very well turned out cattle went onto average £2,180
Second top price of the day went three different ways. Firstly to a fantastic Charolais steer consigned by M/s Telford, High Park Foot realising £2,500.
Then the first placed Limousin Heifer and overall champion came to the ring with plenty of interest and some firey bidding, this heifer also came to £2,500 consigned by M/s Mitchinson, Gallowberry. This expertly exhibited run of 39 shapely Limousin cattle went on to average an outstanding £2,079
Also reaching £2,500 was a jet black Limousin heifer consigned by M/s Gass, Nunscleugh. This run of very well bred predominantly yearling Limousin bred cattle went on to average £2,172
Top herd average of the day was an outstanding run of Charolais bred cattle consigned by M/s Telford, High Park Foot topping at £2,500 and levelling at £2,255 for 15 sold.
Not far behind were M/s Neve, Riggfoot who sold their usual stamp of Charolais cattle topping at £2,320 for a rangy Charolais steer, levelling at £2,253 for 5 sold.
