01 June 2026

Bidding reached a phenomenal frenzy at Skipton Market as the seasonal Limousin showcase saw bulls trade to a joint top of eight thousand guineas

The ring at the Craven Cattle Mart was packed to capacity for the prestigious Craven Limousin Day seasonal show and sale. Upland livestock producers drove up competition for top-tier genetics, with judges recording blistering individual trades that hit a joint maximum ceiling of 8,000 guineas. Auctioneers have praised the resilience of local breeders, noting that the strong prices demonstrate robust confidence in beef enterprise margins across the fells.
