BAKEWELL MARKET Monday 15th February With only fog to contend with this week stock numbers were better with 493 cattle and 974 sheep on offer, but still lower than the equivalent market 12 months ago. Because of the reduced numbers trade was exceptional with both cattle and sheep exceeding all expectations. There were 262 Store & Breeding cattle, plenty of buying power in operation and remarkable prices achieved. There is more than enough demand, but we seem to be short of supply. If you have Store Cattle to sell call Alastair Sneddon on 07973 982441 to book them in for future markets. Steers sold to £1,260 with an average of £906, heifers to £1,215 average £847 and feeding bulls £1,040 average £703. Cows & Calves to £1,250 and in calf cows £1,200. The figures above indicate many smaller and many young Black & White Steers. Trade for the 107 Finished Cattle remains as strong as ever with the best on offer to 257p and £1,688. Those figures are impressive, but the average for the 37 heifers at 216.2p demonstrated that trade was outstanding for all types.
