BAKEWELL MARKET

“Orange Sale”

Sale of TB restricted cattle – Friday 1st April 2022

 

 

The largest sale to date of TB restricted ‘orange’ cattle.  These sales are to help farmers who are shut down under TB restriction giving them the ability to sell cattle in a live auction scenario.  The cattle can go straight to slaughter or to an Approved Finishing Unit, but the cattle have to remain in the fattening yards.

 

The sales have become a regular fixture at Bakewell and the biggest line up of buyers amassed, no doubt attracted by the numbers but also the present good trade for finished cattle.  The trade for the big cattle is very much ‘on a par’ with a regular green Monday sale and only the longer-term cattle, the ones that would have benefitted from a summer at grazing would perhaps be a little less.

 

The sale was the second and final in the dispersal of the feeding operation from HW Martin Farms at Ripley, who sold 284 cattle on the day, with 4 further consignments from other farms.
