Craig Ridley with his pedigree Limousin cattle. Craig farms at Haltcliff Bridge near Hesket Newmarket: 27 September 2018..STUART WALKER.
A YEAR of higher margins for suckled calf producers and finishers helped lift averages at the annual Limousin show and sale at Borderway Mart in Carlisle, last week.
Commercial bidders found sought-after bulls a little dearer on the year, with good working bulls selling at £5,000-£7,000, although several lots went unsold, and some farmers sold privately off-farm.
