Livestock & Dairy: Bakewell Market
Bakewell Market Report 2024-03-25
After a couple of better days, it is back to Winter again, however, the miserable weather did not deter vendors and there were 819 cattle and 1,727 sheep on offer at Bakewell.
Don’t forget next week the market is on Tuesday.
The store and breeding cattle section was busy with 465 head forward and the fact that Spring must be round the corner brought extra buyers to the sale.
The result a wonderful trade from start to finish. Steers sold to £1,880, heifers £1,820 and feeding bulls £1,560.
Younger cattle sold exceptionally well with not enough top-notch sorts to satisfy the specimen hunters.
The demand for finished cattle remains strong and even with an entry of 168 head prices were still outstanding. Top figures 346p/kg and £2,576 per head.
The 77 heifers averaged 295.2p and £1,752 per head.
In the OTM department there were 128 on offer, trade remains at recent outstanding levels with top figures 250p/kg and £2,356 per head. The average much as recent weeks at 176.7 pence making an average OTM cow £1,203.
58 calves with bulls to £340 and heifers £325.

(Auctioneer Oliver Hiles)
More cattle on offer as the trade finds extra vendors sending cows to Bakewell. It’s little wonder with a full ring of potential buyers looking to bid freely for the cattle on offer with all weights, breeds and finishes on offer, there was certainly something for everyone. All the better cows topped 220p with a strong Limousin cow winning the day at 250p (£2170) from Charlie Boden, Mellor who had another at 235p (£2356) and a Charolais at 225p (£2777).
