This week’s winner of the Lark Plant was awarded to Messrs Hervin of Umberleigh for a Blonde Aquitaine x steer at £1125. Kivells notice to Store Cattle Vendors It has come to our attention in recent months that a large number of in calf Store Heifers are being reported, and because of this the vendors are having to pay large vet bills and cost of losses to the purchaser. In previous years we have found that vendors who have scanned their Heifers empty at the time of their TB test, have had a stronger trade on the day, and that has covered their cost of scanning, based on this although it’s voluntary and not compulsory to scan your Heifers, we would highly recommend it. On talking to purchasers they would be more than happy to give a little extra with the guarantee of empty Heifers.

  • Study Looking at the Breed of Dam of Calves Recorded with BCMS Web
    EBLEX Report: Analysis of “Breed of Dam” for cattle recorded with BCMS 2003-2013 Samuel Boon, EBLEX, May 2014 (Version 1) Introduction The breed makeup of the nation’s suckler cows influences not just the beef produced and sold to consumers, but also the productivity and ultimately profitability of those farming systems in which cattle are born and reared. EBLEX asked the British Cattle Movement Service (BCMS) for a breakdown of the dams of calves recorded on the database on the basis of their breed. BCMS is part of the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) It is recognised that an analysis of this type of farmer derived data has some limitations. Where crossbreeding arises there is a tendency for the most valuable breed to be reported on the passport. This approach would favour the reporting of certain beef breeds – which may only account for 50% of the genetic makeup of the suckler cow. In the reporting of dairy breeds similar bias may arise. However, this is a large dataset and for the most part recording protocols have remained consistent over time so relative change over the last decade is still relevant to those interested in assessing which breeds and crosses are influencing the UK beef supply. Methodology BCMS data relates to passport applications received for live and dead animals born in Great Britain. Imported cattle are excluded from the data. Cows producing twins or calving twice within the year will be counted more than once. BCMS report 239 different breed codes. It is understood that these codes/breed types are determined by Breed Societies.

  • BAKEWELL MARKET Monday 13Th May
    BAKEWELL MARKET Monday 13th May Another full house at Bakewell with 980 Cattle and 1,802 Sheep on offer. A massive entry of 669 Store and Breeding Cattle resulted in the entry list being halted to ensure that we did not exceed the Market’s capacity. The opportunity to bid at such a large volume of Cattle attracted buyers from far and wide and generated an exceedingly strong trade. Steers sold to £1,320, Heifers £1,275 and Feeding Bulls £1,070. In the Breeding section there were plenty of bidders for all the varied selection on offer with Cows & Calves to £1,280 and very brisk competition for two Blonde Stock Bulls making £2,250 and £2,200. After last week’s lecture on handling Spring Lambs carefully, we have another topic to raise, we have had too many Store Heifers turning up in-calf in bunches of Feeding Cattle. It is clear that Heifers can become pregnant at unfeasibly young ages. So please keep Bulls and Heifers separate to prevent such problems and do not forget given even half a chance “Boys will be Boys” A good show of 133 Finished Cattle sold on a solid trade with the best on offer to 230p and £1,551. In the OTM and Feeding Cow Section a better turnout of 130 head with trade particularly strong. Top figures 179p and £1,396 with the overall average looking good at 125.1p. Calf numbers steady at 48, but decent prices with Bulls to £420 and Heifers £340. In the Sheep department Spring Lambs numbers are starting to build with 342 this week.
