Just shy of 600 store cattle and feeding bulls were forward for Penrith and District Farmers’ Mart's annual Michaelmas show and sale, where the judge, Thomas Toppin, Gale Hall, placed a Limousin cross bullock champion.

The 16-month-old entry from GT and CA Blezard, Scale House Farm, later realised £1660 to Bolster Moor Farm Shop.

The reserve, a Limousin heifer from Messrs Bindloss, Shap Abbey, made £1450 to J Crichton.

The top price was £2050 paid for a 27-month-old Limousin bullock from JD Bowman, Croft House, who also sold another Limousin bullock at £1925.

The second top was £2045 for a Limousin bullock from Low Row.

Heifers peaked at £1775 on two occasions – for a 17-month-old, Limousin cross from DW and TA Bell, High Dyke, and for a 28-month-old entry of the same breed from J Shields, Gooselands View Barn.
