StAsaph average lamb price down on the week, mediums down from £2.27 to £2.17.
My female 40.5 kg made £91.50 and 47kg tups made £97.50 with a few 53kg ones at £106
42kg tups didn't sell great though at £88...
Still, £93 average in September isn't too bad

I read somewhere during lockdown 5 million had repatriated before lockdown from around the world. Even if it’s half that that a lot extra mouths.

Thursday 3rd September – Darlington Auction Mart had forward:
74 Bulls sold to 266ppk & £2270
23 Steers sold to 248ppk & £1710
69 Heifers sold to 279ppk & £1632
2805 sold to 273ppk & £125.50
810 Cast Sheep sold to £141
8 Prime Pigs sold to 116ppk & £90
Bulls (74) – Incredible, miraculous and breath taking, may the deadweight outlets across the UK hang their profit grabbing heads in shame and kneel before the live auction system; absolutely the trade of the century with bidding twice reaching 266ppk and a dozen over 250ppk with a fair percentage of dairy breeds through them showing an all in average of 219ppk. Top of the tree at the unthought-of 266 pence were two local vendors as A G Watson & Sons, Nunstainton Grange and P I Harker of Worsall Grove Farm etched their mark on the wall of fame, almost more incredible was that both bulls weighed exactly 722kg. The top gross values of late have often come from A C Simpson, McNeil Farm and with the last two out of the yard today it is safe to say that £2270 and £2144 are a pleasing conclusion to any pen of bulls in the land. Some simply monumental returns today, ten from Nunstainton Grange averaged 252ppk and £1796, two from Worsall Grove averaged 264ppk and £1929 and a perfectly fed trio from F & J S Gargett, Westwick Farm chased the leaders all the way to the post averaging 251ppk and £1913.

Clean Cattle (92) – The beef trade booms, no hiding places for the butchers and wholesalers at ringside as the faint hearted can buy nothing but a cup of tea, something for everyone today and more importantly someone for everything, the heifers topped at 279ppk twice with 28 heifers selling beyond 250ppk, it truly was sensational to watch. The share of the top spot went to regular customers R Hirst of Neasham Grange (541kg Limousin) and J B Luck of Milestone House (582kg Limousin). The heifers averaged a superb 240ppk and the better fed steers were similarly easy to sell, top priced steer per kilo was a smart 570kg Limousin across from Cumbria and the familiar face of J J Crichton, Loughrigg Farm which sold for 248ppk; leading the gross values was a fine advert for the DFAM store ring as a superb steer bought from Fristling Hall Farms, Essex on the 1st June had enjoyed his time in Northumberland at the good yard of M F Hall, Woodhill Farm when today he totalled an impressive £1710.

Lambs (2803) – Trade marches valiantly in to September with little evidence of letting up, a larger show averaged at 216ppk and £92.59 with the heavy lambs in particular a blistering trade again. The top spots were claimed by the Eastern contingents this week as a sublime pair of 39kg Beltex from M W Cook & Son, Kildale led the pence per kilo at 273 selling to Yorkshire Halal whilst a big single lamb from J L C Welford, Roxby topped the pounds per head at £125.50. Some useful averages again were achieved by vendors from all corners who continue to enjoy the tenacity and transparency of our live ring. 62 toppers from local producers C & E Gaskin, Hillingdon Farm averaged a massive £114 with another great local supporter D & P H Brown, Cordilleras averaging £110 with their trailer road; AWSM Farms turned out 60 crackers to average £107 whilst drawing them early for Durham sellers C S & V Whitfield (35 average 235ppk and £99) paid dividends. Thirty one from S Lamb, Doe Park also levelled out at £109, many of the DFAM faithful got a real kick of the ball this week including 25 from J Layfield, Knackshivan, 44 from D R Smith, East Roughlea and 41 from W Robson, High West House also all averaged beyond £100. The Northumberland flag was flying again as K J & S S Bell, West Throphill (40 averaged £109) and B A Swallow, Dukesfield Hall (45 averaged £97) represented the northern county. Once again the midlands boys were up in force with a plethora of vendors making the worthwhile journey including A L Ablewhite, Nottinghamshire who peaked at £118.50 and 263ppk. The Mule lambs again appeared in numbers this week with a very respectable breed average of £83 and 194ppk, the sisters will need to sell well to justify the work that they entail.

So whilst you northern souls bask in the glory of your beef trade, this is Frome yesterday. Mainly dairy bred but even last weeks pure Lim (from show home) only got to £2.34!

If I’m right, those bulls at £2.66 at Darlington would need to be handy to £4.50/kg/dw to match - if Ko of 60%?

Clean Cattle (92) – The beef trade booms, no hiding places for the butchers and wholesalers at ringside as the faint hearted can buy nothing but a cup of tea, something for everyone today and more importantly someone for everything, the heifers topped at 279ppk twice with 28 heifers selling beyond 250ppk, it truly was sensational to watch. The share of the top spot went to regular customers R Hirst of Neasham Grange (541kg Limousin) and J B Luck of Milestone House (582kg Limousin). The heifers averaged a superb 240ppk and the better fed steers were similarly easy to sell, top priced steer per kilo was a smart 570kg Limousin across from Cumbria and the familiar face of J J Crichton, Loughrigg Farm which sold for 248ppk; leading the gross values was a fine advert for the DFAM store ring as a superb steer bought from Fristling Hall Farms, Essex on the 1st June had enjoyed his time in Northumberland at the good yard of M F Hall, Woodhill Farm when today he totalled an impressive £1710.

Lambs (2803) – Trade marches valiantly in to September with little evidence of letting up, a larger show averaged at 216ppk and £92.59 with the heavy lambs in particular a blistering trade again. The top spots were claimed by the Eastern contingents this week as a sublime pair of 39kg Beltex from M W Cook & Son, Kildale led the pence per kilo at 273 selling to Yorkshire Halal whilst a big single lamb from J L C Welford, Roxby topped the pounds per head at £125.50. Some useful averages again were achieved by vendors from all corners who continue to enjoy the tenacity and transparency of our live ring. 62 toppers from local producers C & E Gaskin, Hillingdon Farm averaged a massive £114 with another great local supporter D & P H Brown, Cordilleras averaging £110 with their trailer road; AWSM Farms turned out 60 crackers to average £107 whilst drawing them early for Durham sellers C S & V Whitfield (35 average 235ppk and £99) paid dividends.

The Northumberland flag was flying again as K J & S S Bell, West Throphill (40 averaged £109) and B A Swallow, Dukesfield Hall (45 averaged £97) represented the northern county.

The Mule lambs again appeared in numbers this week with a very respectable breed average of £83 and 194ppk, the sisters will need to sell well to justify the work that they entail.

Thirsk cattle been a hell of a trade, I never saw any bulls but apparently they were off the clock , clean cattle were flying, heifers up to £2.84 I think, a few more over £2.80, bullocks were up around £2.60- £2.70 for best sorts , a lot of cattle around £2.50 -£2.70.
With regards the query on weight, I can honestly say my cattle lose a similar weight every week and have done for the last 2 years, and it was the same in lock down with drop and go and the same now and the same last year.

There’s a good looking lass down there though!
Was there not a report earlier today that a ship has gone missing with 6000 cattle on board somewhere between Australia and China Excuse me if I am wrong but sticks in my mind from a very early news report

Yeh particularly good for the sheep is the fact no new zealand or Australian sheep meat is coming into Europe as the Chinese are taking it all... Hey I know everyone's entitled to make a living & trade but I always reakoned the kiwis were a pain in the ass dumping lamb into our markets... Course the likes of Tesco used to love it to keep the price down when claiming they were merely offering there customers a choice......... this is why I'd never support them on that tesco lamb scheme as a matter of principle..... If Boris & Co get there act together with a trade deal then I'll say we'll be alright........... Famous last words....!!!

Good should get the price for my wheat shifting then
You need to ring around and get a wagon load between you to take to Thirsk or Darlington. Come to think of it we should do the same from Cumbria, we can't get close to that despite being as far north.
