Longtown Store & Breeding Cattle Sale Report

C&D Auction Marts, Longtown held a special catalogue sale of 347 store cattle plus 50 unentered cattle on Tuesday 16th January 2018.

Best quality sold to an unbelievable trade with many vendors being dearer on the year due to a packed ringside of local and distant buyers bidding freely throughout, however the other end of cattle would be similar to recent weeks.

The sale topped at £1,350 for a wonderful Charolais bullock sold by loyal supporters RI & VA Telford, High Parkfoot with their load of cattle averaging £1,148.57. The Limousin bullock section sold to £1,250 (x2) and £1,245 (x2), with heifers selling to £1,260 (x3) and £1,230 (x2) all shown by WH & DA Gass, Nunscleugh, who also had a very impressive average of £1,204.29.
