Recent DEFRA guidance is that livestock markets play an essential part in the food supply chain and can

environment, staff, vendors, and buyers alike. To this end ALL MARKETS ACROSS THE COUNTRY will be operating a very strict and enforceable “DROP & GO”

system, operating as follows:- VENDORS

1) Vendors will deliver and unload stock at the loading bays. Market staff will collect the paperwork and move

the stock into the pens, Vendors will then leave the market and we will endeavour to get prices to you as

soon as possible. PLEASE ENSURE YOUR MOVEMENT LICENCES, PASSPORTS ETC ARE CLEARLY AND FULLY COMPLETED WITH

COMPLETE ADDRESSES AND TELEPHONE NUMBERS. 2) Market staff will process the stock in the usual efficient manner. BUYERS

and to save your time.

Social Distancing

We draw everyone’ s attention again to the operating arrangements for all livestock markets

during lockdown. These include a drop and go for vendors leaving maximum space available for

GENUINE buyers who must remain socially distanced at all times in the rings and around the

market. Positions in the rings are clearly marked out and are strictly on a first come first served

basis. Please help us to keep the live markets operating for you.

the banks caused by Covid-19, we would ask all purchasers who have

post cheques. Details for payment can be found on all invoices issued

by the market. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to

contact us on 01664 562971. A reminder that all other payments

should be made on the day.

request and are also available from the market office. For Primestock purchasers with credit agreements, credit terms will extend to a maximum of two weeks. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to

contact us on 01664 562971.

Farm assurance status Would all cattle vendors selling cattle as Farm Assured please ensure that their Farm Assurance is up to

date, with all linked holdings registered to the primary holding, and ensure that the stickers used in passports match the details held by the administering Farm Assurance body. We are increasingly having

issues with linked holdings not being covered under a primary FABBL account, and severe deductions are being applied at the time of slaughter. In such instances, the vendor is liable for all deductions made

Named/Numbered Sires Vendors are advised that named sires must be officially printed on the passport of the animal and not hand written. We will not sell animals as being named or numbered sire if the sire details are not printed onto the passport. Sire details may be checked with the breed societies online to ensure that they are correct. Please

also include sire details on your blue entry forms which accompany cattle to market. Thank you for your cooperation.

Food standards petition Do you want the food you eat to continue to be produced to the world leading

standards you’ve come to expect, even in the toughest global circumstances?

The UK Government has the opportunity right now to put into law rules that prevent

food being imported to the UK which is produced in ways that would be illegal here.

Sign our food standards petition and ask the UK Government to ensure all food

imports are produced to the same high standards as British farmers.

Cull Ewes (454) Top Price - £120 Overall average - £74.21

A pretty much stand on trade in the ewes with fat still heavily discounted –

some goods dearer on the week others a tad less. New accounts continue to

bolster the ever growing ewe section. Those with the fatter end of the goods at

this time of the year seeking a better return could consider holding ewes on

tighter keep in an attempt to slim down and find a wider market. The meated /

heavier end of the ewes and grazing types finding the widest audience topping

today at £120 for a Suffolk Tup from J Cookes, Brackley with J Spencer & Son,

Earl Shilton to £100 twice for meated continentals and MR Peters & Son Sawtry

to £99 for Texels. JE Kerley to £97 for Continental X with MJ & RJ Howkins to

PN Gosling to £85 for Continentals with the best end of the Suffolks to £95.

Mules topping to £80 for weighted goods from Livesey Brothers. Lighter leaner

goods sought after at £65-£80. Thankyou for helping us to help you by booking

cull ewes in it greatly helps us ensure suitable buying support.
