Bidding hit historic heights this morning at the prominent CCM Skipton Mid-May Craven Dairy Auction show and sale. A packed ring of regional agricultural buyers drove up competition to yield the highest individual price recorded so far in 2026. The coveted title and top valuation went to an exceptional champion heifer brought to the ring by well-known local producer Mark Smith, selling for a staggering three thousand seven hundred and twenty pounds to a standing ovation from local farmers.
