Market Report
This week saw the 86th Louth Annual Christmas Stock Show take place with a good entry of both cattle
and sheep. The entry of 33 show cattle and 72 show lambs were of a tremendously high standard which
was reflected in the trade on the day.
The show committee and auctioneers would like to give thanks to the cattle judge David Coulson, the
sheep judge David Wright, Mick Pickwell for judging the best presentation and stockmanship and all the
shows sponsors for making the day a great success. Credit must go out to all vendors and producers for
the remarkable standard of cattle and sheep on offer but also recognition must go out to our excellent
complement of buyers for supporting the show and the market on a weekly basis.
A number of fund raising activities on the day raised a total of approximately £1795 for the Lincolnshire
Rural Support Network and the Macmillan Nurses. We feel this figure will rise as the donations continue
to trickle forward.
CLEAN CATTLE
The judge, David Coulson, had a very difficult job on his hands due to the really high quality of the cattle
in the show. The show champion was a BrB x heifer from C Goulsbra of Authorpe, weighing 630kgs and
selling for 369.50ppk (£2,328) to A Wright & Sons. The reserve champion was a BB x Steer from D T Todd
weighing 675kgs and selling for 289.50ppk (£1954) to A Wright & Son of Boston.
The Champion unhaltered beast was a BB x steer from T V Davie weighing 621 kgs and selling for
249.50ppk (£1549).
The total prime cattle average price for the 37 prime cattle sold, which includes commercial cattle as well
as the show stock was 233.50ppk the average price per head was £1376. With all steers sold averaging
226.26ppk and heifers averaging 248.42ppk.
