Indeed £12 was the standard price for a range of poultry stock. Cream Legbars, Welsummers, Rhode Island Reds, Vorweks,

DAIRY, BREEDING AND STORE CATTLE (136): dairy cattle surprisingly in short supply again, despite strong demand from a large crowd of buyers. A fresh heifer from a regular Lancashire vendor made £1,750 and a very neat Red and White heifer made £1640 to a local producer.

In the beef breeding cattle, a nice run of in-calf cows and heifers. Pedigree Beef Shorthorns, due in a couple of months, made to £1,000, £950 etc. with a run of in-calf Angus heifers to £640 (twice), £620 etc.

Store cattle: another terrific trade on a selection of cattle which really did include something for everybody. Quality suckler-bred cattle again at a premium, but it seems the plainer they are, the dearer they get.

Several runs of steers over £1,000 to a top of £1,220 for a Charolais cross, with Shorthorn crosses to £1,200.

Heifers didn’t quite break the £1,000 mark, at a top of £965 for Messrs. Lomas’s Charolais cross but some excellent “cow makers” from £800 to £950.

Fewer young bulls than expected, but the jump in finished prices seen recently has helped confidence, with plenty of competition throughout to £765 for Limousin crosses.

The 74 butchers pigs’ averaged £98.22. The smallest entry for several weeks met a very fast trade for best gilts, selling to a top of 139p.

Still demand for hoggets selling to a top of £89.

Scanned in-lamb mule shearlings sold well to £160.

FARM PRODUCE (52 LOADS): produce entries are holding up well with 53 loads on offer with trade remaining firm for all commodities. Best quality small bale hay topped at £145 per tonne with the next load at £135 per tonne, but both these were pipped for top price of the day by a load of good quality round bale hay at £160 per tonne. Other top quality big bale hay made £118 and £125 per tonne with decent, if not very best quality, around the £100 mark.

Plenty of silage and haylage on offer again with the best haylage £72 to £82 per tonne, decent quality £50 to £60 and silage at £40 to £45 for wrapped and £42 for loose.

In the straw department, the biggest load of barley straw on offer, 16.52 tonnes, also made the highest price, £100 per tonne but other good loads at £85 to £95 per tonne. Big bale wheat straw met a firm trade at £72 to £82 per tonne and oat straw generally £72 to £80 per tonne with one exceptional load at £105 per tonne.

A single load of pea straw made £45.

Interesting to note the same week last year, when there was an entry of 47 loads. Small bale hay — several loads over £200 up to £225 per tonne, big bale hay up to £190 per tonne, straw prices much the same at this year.

EGGS (700 DOZEN): only a small entry of hen eggs met another good trade. Heavy loading of goose eggs did not affect the price.

BUTCHERS’ SHEEP (852): the 746 old season lambs sold to 254p for 49.6kg Rouge crosses from Roger and Simon Bailey, of Rushton Spencer (209.2p). Export spec lambs, from 38 to 42kgs all from 210p to 230p, up to 245p for 42kg Texel crosses.

The Baileys saw their heavier, but superbly finished lambs make to 254p, 250p and average more than 20p up on the week with 442 of the entry weighing in excess of 46kg. Prices: premium 254p (229.5p); prime 221p (214.5p); others 200p (193p). The 106 cull ewes and rams averaged overall £85.81 down on the week.

BUTCHERS’ CATTLE (67): shortage fuelled the trade, but all 11 buyers around the ring, buying on 16 accounts, were fit as could be. Few premium quality steers and heifers on offer, but all the top quality young bulls made in excess of 200p, to a top of 216p for a 634 kg Blue cross. One happy Warrington vendor saw his pen of five bulls peak at £1436, and average £1,324!

Top spot, however, went to a super heifer which, first in the ring, kicked trade off in style by making 228p and, at 514kg totalled £1171. Quite a number o heifers made well over £1100.

No premium quality steers, but plenty of heavyweight, wellfinished sorts making to 190p fo a 656kg Simmental cross, and grossing to £1391 for a Blonde cross.

Encouraging to see such a buoyant trade at Chelford Chelford Market has long been renowned as a centre where there are buyers for all types of livestock, whether they be premium quality or otherwise.

quite happy to attend markets, select what they want, and pay a fair price.

In recent weeks, trade at the Thursday primestock sales has been phenomenal, illustrated most clearly by prices being paid last week at this centrally located auction centre, close to the M6 and M60 motorways.

Quality cattle seem to be in short supply in the sale ring, but the best heifers last week made up to 228p per kilogram, with an outstanding trade for young bulls for processing, many o which would go into the catering trade.

Buyers from all over the UK, and in particular a large number of butcher and wholesale buyers from within the local area, are in attendance each week and, allied to the additional competition provided by export buyers, has produced exceptional prices for stock put forward by local farmers.

The most striking example is in the cull cow ring. It is easy to remember the dark days of only five years or so ago when all the cattle were restricted to a Government buying price, but since 2006, the re-opening of export markets for older beef, and the strong demand for mature beef from catering outlets, there has been a resurgence in demand. Last week, cull cows made up to 227p per kilogram for a young, 716 kilo British Blue cross, which grossed £1,625. Thirteen Limousin cross cows averaged £1,096, 10 British Blue crosses averaged £1043, with a Devon cow to £1407.

Bulls sold for a top of 216p per kilogram, the top five bulls averaging 208.5p per kilogram. There is no doubt that premium quality steers and heifers would have sold exceptionally well, and the question has to be asked can anyone seriously think that direct selling is a sensible option at present?

If cattle are presented for sale at an auction market, all the processors will have to come out and bid for them and then we will see the true level of trade.

Sheep prices have been fuelled by strong demand in France and Belgium, and particularly, o course, the increasing ethnic trade within the UK.

An excellent entry of 852 lambs were forward at Chelford last Thursday, selling again to an exceptional trade.

Regular vendors Messrs Bailey, of Rushton Spencer, saw their best 49.6kg lambs make to a top price of 254p per kilogram.

The majority of the cull cow throughput at Chelford is still, of course, dairy cows, and last Thursday 76 black and white cows averaged £796. A far cry indeed from the days when cows were restricted to a price of approximately £250.

Catering trade is also driving demand in the clean cattle, ie those under 30 months old. A number of major producers are tied into direct supply contracts with major processors, supplying the large supermarket chains. Many of these processors do not like using markets, because they do not want to face the competition, and therefore pay a competitive price for the cattle, but local wholesalers, unhindered by supermarket contracts, are

It is interesting that most deadweight orientated processors will heavily discount heavie lambs, but last Thursday’s trade at Chelford again proved that a ready market exists for premium quality, heavier weights, providing you are not selling to a supermarketdominated processor.

Export weight lambs, those between 39 and 43 kilos liveweight, mostly made between 215 and 230p per kilogram.

Twenty-eight recorded purchasers drove the trade on cows, cattle and sheep throughout the day.

It is encouraging for local farmers to see such a buoyant trade within a busy market, and to see them at last gain just rewards for the efforts they put in to finishing stock to a high standard. Meetings where rape victims find support

The Chronicle, Thursday, 15th March, 2012. www.chronicleseries.co.uk 7

DANESIDE Country Park Holiday Homes - Sales and Hire - OPEN ALL YEAR

By Chris Young A support group where rape victims can find solace by talking to each other about their ordeals has received money to set up projects in Macclesfield and Crewe

Thanks to money from Lloyds TSB, the charity The Rape and Sexual Abuse Support Centre will hold meetings in the new areas once a month.

Karen King, who will help start the Crewe group, said many women felt uncomfortable talking about their experiences with others, even close friends and family, and struggled in silence to cope with the trauma.

She said: “People will get emotional support. It is a safe place for survivors to gain strength from each other. People know from experience how other survivors are feeling.

“Sexual violence is a huge taboo because the very nature of the crime is ugly. These groups will encourage people to rebuild their self-confidence.

“The whole point of the group is to reduce the sense of isolation by finding this commonality with other people. A lot of survivors carry a sense of shame, but that shame belongs to the perpetrator.”

She told the “Chronicle” that the group did not discuss ongoing criminal cases.

Before attending the meetings, women are given an initial one on one assessment and offered advice by counsellors.

There was no obligation to attend set number of the free, sessions, which last two hours.

The group is open to women over 18 years old.

The charity hopes to start a similar group for male victims.

For information, call 01925 221546 or 01744 877987.

This week, the Mumsnet website revealed that 83% of women who were raped did not report the crime and 32% did not tell family or friends.
