Bakewell Market Orange Sale for TB restricted cattle 2021-10-29

BAKEWELL MARKET

Orange Sale”

Sale of TB restricted cattle – Friday 29th October 2021

 

The third in the series of TB restricted Orange sales and the first this Autumn was held at Bakewell today.  All cattle have to go to an Approved Finishing Unit (AFU) or direct to slaughter.

It is hoped that the sale can become a monthly event for farms shut down with TB as a means of selling Store Cattle in an open and competitive fashion.

A ring of buyers gathered at ringside, all with the necessary AFU and bid freely for all the cattle.  The trade for the bigger cattle is very similar to a regular Monday, although some smaller and younger cattle look a little less
