BARREN COWS/OTM’S (37)
Auctioneer: Nick Hyne
A few less barren cows on offer today, but with the
quality of the stock on offer improving and a slightly
increased demand from the buyers, trade was up
nearly 10ppk on average to return an overall price of
100ppk.
As stated much better quality cows entered today
and again those types sold very well up to a high of
156ppk for a 522kilo Limousin presented by Messrs
Balmer of Snailbeach with Friesians topping at 148ppk
(754 kilos) for Messrs Holloway of Wattlesborough

poorest, leanest cows selling below 70ppk.
One bull sold today which was a 15 year old
Limousin weighing 802 kilos and realising 100ppk.

TRADING STANDARDS ANNOUNCEMENT
REGARDING LIVESTOCK TRANSPORT
Trading Standards would like to remind livestock keepers that you
cannot transport livestock in the back of a van/car, where it has not
been suitably modified.
Ideally an adequate vehicle/trailer that is designed to meet the needs of
animals in transport and the requirements under the legislation should
be used. If you do not have access to a suitable vehicle you could
arrange a transporter to bring them to and from the market on your
behalf.
It is an offence to transport animals in a vehicle that does not meet the
required specifications under the above legislation.
Vans would need to have ventilation flaps added, or else a roof
ventilator as you see on police dog carrying vans. Window glass is
replaced with metal grills to allow for extra ventilation and for safety.
The internal spaces must be free of sharp edges and where any wheel
arch meets the carrying space, this would need to be contoured
appropriately.
There is no need for a ramp provided the animals can be lifted out by
no more than two people.
The flooring needs to be non – slip, or else bedding or other suitable
surface added.
You would need to be able to cleanse and disinfect the vehicle
appropriately, (some pick up and Landrover owners use rubber mats,
as they can be easily removed and disinfected).
