BRIDGNORTH LIVESTOCK MARKET

WEEKLY REPORT – 02.02.21 165 PRIME CATTLE

Auctioneer – Mark Burgoyne 07831 192603

Very much a more mixed bunch of cattle penned this morning. Best

sorts were very dear consequently, with butcher’s heifers and well

finished beasts with shape seeing a great result. Many cattle on

the leaner-side of ideal but still sold pretty well with buyers needing

cattle back to kill.

Good steer numbers forward with best sorts selling to 256p/kg or

£1,570 in the lump. Several dairy bred types and overagers are

included in the averages.

A sharp trade on the heifers with two stars selling to 289p/kg with

4 others above 280p/kg. Best heavy females in shorter supply

today and sold just short of £1,500.

Bull trade was firm with a strong Holstein influence in the averages

once again. Continental bulls topped at 225p/kg or £1,814 in the

lump. Friesian Holsteins were very well sold to 214p/kg with plenty

past 190p/kg.

37 Cows and 4 Overage Steers

Plenty of cows forward this morning but with not too much meat

about. British Blue cross cows sold to 136p/kg for 624kg, with

816kg Blonde cows to 135p/kg. Overage Angus steers sold to

160p/kg with meat at 700kg. Good cow entries required each week

– the lorries are waiting!

very respectable 281p/kg. Many other prices of note please see

62 BULLS SOLD TO OV.AV. 192P/KG

Bulls definitely more money today but a few better sorts forward.

Davies, Plwmp headed the suckler bulls at 225p/kg for 614kg

Limousins, with cracking Blondes from Dan Watkins selling to

925kg. A tremendous black & white trade saw square Friesians

from Simon Pennington selling to 214p/kg with Richard Yates

OBITUARY

JACK WOOD, FROM TINKERS CASTLE, SEISDON

It is with great sadness to learn of the loss of Jack, aged 72

years, who unfortunately contracted the Coronavirus on 19th

January.

Our sympathies go to his family, especially Tom, and our

thoughts are with Jane, his longstanding partner, as she is also

suffering with Covid. His friendly face, his outlying store cattle

and of course his occasional moans will be greatly missed

around Bridgnorth Market.
