More than 1300 store cattle were forward for ‘The Tommy Baxter Show and Sale’ at Mitchells Livestock Market, Cockermouth.

Judging was in the hands of Michael Wynne, Ellie Wynne and Rachel Graham, who found their champion in the first prize haltered Limousin heifer from RW and JH Emmott, Wythop Hall, which went on to top the sale at £2600.

Reserve was a British Blue heifer from I Powley, Green Marsh, that later realised £1650.

Outwith the show, a Limousin heifer from AG and KF Nicholson, Swinside End, sold to £1520.

Steers reached £1325 twice; firstly for a Charolais from T Trafford and Son, Peter House, and then again for a Limousin from I Powley, Green Marsh.

Bulls were topped at £1400 for a Limousin from G Fearon, Hollows Farm.
