93 REARING CALVES

10.30 am – Auctioneer: Jon Pullin

Avg £197.00

Today’s trade was extremely impressive once again highlight that those selling direct off the farm are selling their calves very much below their best value and are not maximising their farm returns.

31 Friesians and Dairy type on offer with few classing as best calves, but selling very well. 11 bulls over £100, best £150 for L J Scott & Son, £120 and £130 for R A Pullin, 2nd quality types £70 - £85, 3rd Quality £50-£70 with respect the killing types many if not all going to rear £30-£50. 31 avg £83.50.

Hereford heifers to £225 for R J Prout and £210 for T S Baker. Angus bulls £265for E & V Kidner, £290 for R A Pullin heifers to £180 for P J & S R Bennett.

Continental calves on absolute flyer. Charolais bulls to £365 for P H Baker, Simmental £365 for B Gough, medium Simmentals £260-£265. Limousin bulls £370 for R H Oughton, Blonde bulls to £365 for R B Gallop. A tremendous number of 1st quality blues to a top of £385 for Stroud Green and G M Lambert, £380 for J N Rogers (who brings calves to Cirencester all the way from Hereford), £378 twice for Mark Maslin, £375 for Stroud Green and 33655 for P H Baker. Another half dozen over £300, but best blue heifers £260+ all day reaching £300 for W J Tinney, R H ^& M E Oughton, 14 Blue heifers £248+ with all types of cattle very dear, we could sell twice as many calves to advantage and all those direct selling should at least try markets again.
