Lancaster Monthly Dairy Sale Monday 16th MayMonday 16th MayMonday 16th MayMonday 16th May

The May sale had a bigger entry, however quality not the same as seen in the April sale. Judging of the pre-sale show was in the capable hands of John Okell of Chester , a nice line up of non-halter led heifers saw the first and second placed heifers taking the Champion and Reserve. Taking the top price at £1550 was the Champion, Kirkwood Royce Isabel 3, with two immediate generations of EX & VG, she sold to Doug Wallbank of Longridge. A ringside of buyers were present, however all were on the cautious side, best heifers in excess of £1400. An overall average of £1205, a straight average when looking at the quality forward. A couple of bulls forward from the Stardale herd of J Burrow & Son saw Lot 30, Stardale Adeen Miles, a nice bull sired by Melarry Robust Miles and with 4 generations of EX cows behind him, he sold for a final call of £1500.

Have you been approached by developers or neighbours wanting to buy or build on your land?

Free planning advice for small development plots. Many of our valued clients have farms in and around villages and smaller communities throughout the region. Some of these farms will have little bits of fields that are not productive in agricultural terms but that could provide useful additions to the local rural housing stock. We are often approached by small developers looking for land for single plots or housing developments up to 10 units. Whilst at the present time we have large sites for sale we have very few small sites. If you think you may have a small piece of land that you would be prepared to sell for development we can have a look at it and provide you with planning advice on the likelihood of a planning consent being granted. We can also make the appli-cation on your behalf and negotiate a sale to developers or individuals.

Many pieces of land are unsuitable in planning terms which is why our free assessment is essential to realise the potential value. Additionally smaller pieces

unsuited for development may be suitable for

allowing neighbours to have larger gardens or

to permit a side extension or improve an

access for example. Even these small

parcels may be worth looking at.
