Longtown Store Cattle Sale Report
C&D Auction Marts Ltd held their Annual Suckler Calf Sale together with Store Cattle on Saturday 23rd October 2021.
A smart entry of cattle were presented forward to a very busy ring of potential purchasers ensuring a very buoyant trade throughout.
The pre-sale show was kindly sponsored by Dodd & Co and ably judged by Mr William Miller, High Aketon, Wigton. After much deliberation the championship was awarded to a British Blue x bullock shown by A A Roskell & Partners, Laverhay, Moffat, which later sold for £1,420.
Reserve champion was received by Wanwood Partners, Wanwood Hill, Alston for their first prize Limousin bullock, which sold for £970.
A fantastic run of 70 Charolais cross calves consigned by M/s D Storey, Greenburn, Canonbie, sold to a blistering trade topping at £1,140 for a pen of bulls, with several pens of bull calves from the same home breaking over the £1,000 mark.
The better end of cattle proved very good to sell, with all vendors going home delighted with their days trading at Longtown.
