As we look ahead to the next month, dairy cattle are in very short supply across the whole of the west country and with an increasing demand as milk prices rise trade is predicted to stay firm. We are seeing a large amount of demand for autumn milk as well as fresh milk and large groups of cattle are hard to source. The shortage of sales means that now is the time to take stock of what surplus you may have for the autumn and winter months!
Sedgemoor Auction Centre has a number of marketing opportunities for all types of dairy cattle, with weekly sales held every Saturday with 100 entered last Saturday with vendors from Kent Cornwall, Carmarthen, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. As well as special catalogued monthly sales and a much-viewed private treaty sales register.
The Dairy department are currently cataloguing for their next monthly sale on Tuesday 22nd August for which the entries deadline is Monday 7th August, to place entries or for further details please contact 01278 410250 or livestock@gth.net.
