Livestock & Dairy: Bakewell Market
Bakewell Market Report 2024-10-07
Worrying times with the Bluetongue boundary now on the Nottinghamshire border and preventing a few regulars from coming to see us.
How long the current situation will prevail is impossible to say. The most recent changes came with no warning and immediate effect.
All we can do is keep up to date with Defra/APHA announcements. Any changes that directly affect Bakewell market will be broadcast on our website and facebook pages.

Cull Sheep
(Auctioneers M Elliott & H Swift)
A very strong entry of slaughter ewes and rams with the trade faster but a lot higher percentage of heavier meated ewes within the total penned.
Best continentals regularly £148 plus and the premium Texels £170 and above.
A top call of £199 for a pure Texel from the sportsman flock of Boden & Davies with Messrs Furness & Taylor and Ben Simpson both at £178 for their best and Jackie Trueman at £177.
Better Mules towards £110 and Gritstone in the £90 bracket.
Still a large compliment of grazing customers there to bid with all categories and breeds well bid for.
Texel rams to £206.
Ewes to £199 Ave £101.88
Rams to £206 Ave £152.67
