Mitchell’s fortnightly sale of prime and breeding stock proved to be a tremendously busy day with two rings going full blast. An excellent ring of cattle buyers included many local beef feeders and a large amount of men from throughout the country, some of whom went home empty handed. The sale began with a tremendous entry of more than 50 calves and stirks. Young calves sold to £362 from Messrs Cook, High House. Young heifer calves topped at £305 for a British Blue from John Clark, Fairladies Farm. A good entry of mostly Black & White stirks averaged £247 topping at £562 for a Limousin bull from B & I Scott, Seat Farm.
A small entry of dairy cattle averaged £1,677 across the board. David Robinson, Dovenby Craggs topped the trade with a 3rd calved cow at £1,850. Feeding cow numbers continue to grow sale upon sale. An excellent entry of mostly beef cows averaged £590 selling to a top of £765 for a Belgian Blue X from A R Robinson, Woodhall. There was only one stock bull in the market this week, once again it was a pedigree Limousin from Messrs Armstrong, Terrace Farm, which was knocked down at £1,400. A smaller entry of beef breeding cattle topped at £1,000 for a cow with bull calf at foot and this was sold by Messrs Hogg, Winscales Farm West.
A superb entry of Store Cattle were a strong trade helped by the large ring of buyers. Store bullocks topped at £1,025 for a pen of Limousin’s from J Capstick & Son, Whicham Hall. Messrs Capstick also achieved the top price for store heifers, selling Limousin’s to £1,000 apiece. A small entry of store bulls averaged £665 for all breeds selling to a top of £995 for a Limousin from J & C L Hickson, Beck Grange.

One of the best entries of in-lamb ewes for many years included flock dispersals on behalf of Messrs Stagg, Croft House, Buttermere and Derek Pegg, Yeat House Farm, Frizington. The Mule ewes from Messrs Stagg were scanned for twin lambs and met tremendous competition around the ring. The whole flock from Messrs Stagg averaged £141.50 for mostly 2 & 3 crop ewes topping at £150 apiece for a pen of gimmer shearlings.
The store lambs section of the sale proved to be a very dear affair once again, with plenty of trade for all breeds of lamb. The sale averaged £55 per head including several pens of small Herdwick lambs. A top price of £72 was achieved for a pen of Texel X lambs from W Wilson, Herdwick Croft and many more lambs could have been sold had they been available.
Special Sale of Pure Bred Herdwick Breeding Sheep:
Mitchell’s new sale of pure bred Herdwick’s included several quality consignments from noted registered flocks within the Herdwick Sheep Breeders Association. Despite a relatively small entry, there was an excellent crowd of Herdwick buyers from throughout the county. A prize show was held to mark the occasion and this was kindly sponsored by HSBA and judged by well known Herdwick aficionado Bob Benn of Smaithwaite Farm. He gave championship honours to Messrs A G & K F Nicholson, Swinside End for a 5 year old Herdwick ewe sired by Mr Nicholson’s well known Wilkinsyke tup. The ewe was in lamb to a Turner Hall tup purchased by Mr Nicholson. The champion ewe drew spirited bidding before eventually being knocked down at £420 setting a strong record price at this inaugural spring sale.

Mitchell’s weekly sale of primestock met a better trade in both sale rings this week than expected. A good entry of almost 1,500 prime hoggs averaged 191p/kg for all breeds and types. Best Continental lambs met a rising market throughout the sale with many lambs selling to the same level as last weeks fast trade. Top price of the day was 245p/kg for 39kg Texel lambs from Messrs Dixon, Beech House, which made £95.50 and were purchased by Stephen Stoddart of Wigton. Best butchers hoggs topped at £116 for Texel’s from Messrs Nevinson, High House, and these were purchased by Stephen Stoddart. Messrs Nevinson also sold hoggs at £113 to Tony Harrison, Butcher of Cockermouth. Close behind at £112 were Messrs Nicholson, Swinside End, whose Texel hoggs were purchased by W Lindsay & Son, Butcher of Cockermouth. Lambs under 40kgs were good to sell all day and these averaged 195p/kg including lightweight fell lambs. The Mule hogg trade was on the whole very good selling to a top of £89.50 for a pen from Messrs J F Bowe & Sons, Calvo Farm. There are now rising numbers of hill hoggs and it was good to see some strong Herdwick’s in the market. These sold to a top of £81 per head to R G & J M Smith, Lake View.
Cast Ewes again were in demand with 7 active buyers bidding strongly for all types. Herdwick & horned ewes were a regular £45 to £50. Mule ewes a regular £70. Very strong Suffolk and Texel ewes £100 plus.
Another good quality entry of prime cattle were felt by all to be thoroughly decent trade. Prime heifers sold to 184.5p/kg for a sweet Limousin from Messrs Tyson, East House, which was purchased by W Lindsay & Son, Butcher of Cockermouth for £963. Prime steers topped at 179.5p/kg (£1,209.83) for a heavy Limousin from John Bowe, Hunday, and this was purchased by Michael Atkinson of Ripon. Commercial prime cattle met a strong trade all day.
A good entry of prime bulls averaged 134.8p/kg for mostly Black and White bulls. However the top price of the day was 170.5p/kg for a pure bred Limousin from W & M Nixon, Bridekirk Hall, and this was purchased by Cleveland Meat Co Ltd for £1,001.93. Black and White bulls topped at 135.5p/kg for a bull from J & E Scott, Mid Farm, this was purchased by Tom Bradley of Egremont.
A slightly improved entry of cast cows were up 4p on average selling to a top of 104.5p/kg for a Continental from J Jackson & Son, Frizington Parks. A plainer entry of Black and White cows sold twice to 94.5p/kg and this was for cows from L Brough & Sons, Hill Farm, and J T Wilson & Sons, Grange Farm. There was only one cast bull in the market this week and it sold to a top price of £1,034 for a Limousin from G & S Bell, Newhouse Farm. Many more cows were needed to satisfy a strong ring of buyers.

Mitchell’s weekly sale of primestock proved to be a busy affair with more cattle and sheep than expected being sold through the ring. The morning sale of prime cattle saw a very smart trade for all types of cattle. The top price of 178.5p/kg was recorded and this was for a Limousin heifer from J & D Hodgson, Parsonage Farm, which was purchased by W Lindsay & Son, Butcher of Cockermouth for £1,010. Prime steers topped at 167.5p/kg for a Belgian Blue from Will Nixon, Bridekirk Hall, which was purchased by Lancaster Meat Co Ltd. The top price per head was £1,131 for a Limousin steer from Messrs Park, Millom Castle, which went to Les Fell of Settle. An excellent entry of prime bulls were mostly black and white in breed. However, the top price of 159.5p/kg was for a Limousin X from Willie Roberts, Townhead Farm, and this was purchased by Cleveland Meat Co Ltd. More cast cows were needed on the day to satisfy demand. A top price of 101.5p/kg went to Messrs Crowe, Hall Santon, for a Continental X which was purchased by Cleveland Meat Co Ltd. Meaty black and white cows were good to sell all day.
In the sheep ring a much larger entry than anticipated followed the trend of the week with an average at 193.5p/kg which was rather less than last weeks fantastic trade, but still very pleasing on the day. There were many more pens of hill bred lambs in the market this week. Export weight lambs were still very good to sell and were considerably in excess of £2 per kilo. The top price on the day was 247p/kg for Texel Lambs from Nick Gill, Stonethwaite Farm, which were purchased by W Lindsay & Son, Butcher of Cockermouth. The top price per head was £131 for Texel lambs from David Nevinson, High House Farm and these were purchased by Tony Harrison, Butcher of Cockermouth. Mr Harrison also paid £128 to Bill Skelton, Rook Farm, and close behind at £127 was Nick Gill once again with lambs purchased by Messrs Wilson, Butchers of Egremont. Hill lambs were a decent trade throughout with Herdwick lambs topping at £82 per head to Messrs Ostle, Mill House. Swaledale hoggs sold to £76.50 to Messrs Wilson, Grange Farm. Lightweight lambs were not as dear as recent weeks but there were several more pens of less well fleshed lambs in the market this week, which once again makes the overall rather better than expected. A similar entry of cast ewes were once again a competitive trade if rather less than the previous sale. However, there were several buyers in the ring which ensured that all sheep were up to the mark. Messrs Bowe, Bothel Parks topped the trade at £104.50 for Texel X Ewes. Cast rams sold to £96.50 to Messrs Graham, Lanefoot, for a Cheviot X tup.
