Livestock & Dairy: Bakewell Market
Bakewell Market Report for Monday 13th July 2020-07-13

A better weekend weather wise and with it a better time to sort sheep and consequently more on offer at Bakewell with 1691 Sheep in total and 469 Cattle.
The sheep price is remaining firm for the time of year with the 1145 Spring Lambs averaging 213.8p/kg and 531 Ewes & Rams to £138 and averaging £91.46
Cull Cows continue to be in strong demand selling to 166p/kg or £1626 with demand from wholesalers and further feeders alike.
The finished cattle section was also busier than the same week last year with 87on offer and selling to 234p/kg to record an overall average of 187.25p/kg
Obviously, the busiest cattle section was the stores with 273 head on offer and in Alastair’s absence Mark was on hand to sell with strong steers to £1285, heifer to £1140 and bulls to £930 with some of the smaller cattle looking particularly dear
