SHOW REPORT 11 MAY 2020
Orkney Livestock Association usually have a show prior to their annual sale of grazing cattle however this year it was decided not to go ahead with this due to current Covid19 restrictions. It was therefore decided to offer cash prizes of £50 each to the top pence per kilo price attained by a BVD accredited stot and heifer purchased by a local buyer. The local buyers of these two top price animals will also be awarded with cash prizes of £25 each. All prizes are sponsored by Biobest Laboratories Ltd.
The top price pence per kilo for a BVD accredited grazing stot sold to a local buyer was attained by Messrs Robertson, Little Wards, Longhope for a pair of Charolais crosses scaling 325kgs selling for £865 per head (266.1p) to Mr Low, Craighaven, Toab.
The top price pence per kilo for a BVD accredited grazing heifer sold to a local buyer was attained by Messrs Wishart of Knockhall in South Ronaldsay with a Simmental cross scaling 295kgs that sold for £690 (233.9p) to Mr Moar of Vinbrake in Birsay.
Prime Heifers sold to 211 p/kg for an Aberdeen Angus scaling 595 kilos from J & G Smith, Cauldhame, Stromness realising £1255.45 purchased by Williamsons.
Prime Steers sold to 203 p/kg for a Stabiliser scaling 635 kilos from G Henry, Howe, Harray realising £1289.05 purchased by E Flett.
A mixed show of store cattle was forward for sale today but all showed good live-weight. All grazing types sold to increased rates and were keenly bid for by 31 different buyers. Smaller native heifers proved harder to cash this week but sold accordingly to southern markets. Heavier cattle turning 2 years old were averaging over 200p which compares very well to current dead-weight price.
165 Store Steers averaged 220 p/kg and sold to a top of 266.2 p/kg for a pair of Charolais scaling 325 kilos from Robertson, Littlewards, Longhope realising £865.
