Salisbury Livestock Market Monday 9th September 2019 Please note all calves over 41 days of age must be TB tested. Calves (102) Auctioneer Ian Tanner Trade: A good entry with plenty of quality forward, better end a real trade with several customers to compete for them, any smaller ‘off the boil’ calves a far more challenging trade, much in line with elsewhere. It is important to sell these calves looking well with an extra weeks milk making a big difference, premiums given for the tidy fresh calves. Continental x top end well supported with regular sellers Michael & Charlotte Trim, topping with Limousin bulls to £350, £342, £308 and £288, a really quality show of bulls, most other medium sorts £220-£270, smalls £120-£190, heifers equally as well sought after topping at a super £256 for a British Blue from Wardour Farms, several other strong heifers £220-£250, medium sorts mostly £150-£180, do keep them coming! Native x very few bulls top at £200 from Messrs Hammond, most other bulls £120- £170, with only the small or poorer bred types less, heifers mostly at the smaller end and found limited interest, but better types topped at £138 for a Hereford from Gerald Lambert, in general not the best show of Native calves. Dairy x the best a cracking trade to £100 from Messrs Parsons, who sold Fleckvieh’s to £150, Stronger rearers £70-£90, stronger processing types £40-£55, smaller end £15-£25, very small end £5-£12 do keep all your calves coming we have the customers to bid for stock, and don’t forget all our calves are include in our averages!
