As I write this, weeks after recording some of the highest temperatures in the UK we are heading into another heat wave. For those harvesting, crops are coming off with low moistures a huge relief in terms of drying costs when fuel prices are still elevated and early straw crops look reasonably healthy. Sadly, for those with soft fruit spoiling in the extreme warmth and veg growers struggling with water shortages the heat has its drawbacks. With the dry conditions for such a prolonged period many farmers are struggling with grass growth and have already started into their winter forage, this is hugely concerning for the winter ahead with farmers unsure if they will have enough keep to see them through. Spring Sales White Gold Female Sale January Top of 18000gns for Tweeddale Rosemary 25 Heifers sold to average £4780 (81% clearance) Stirling February Top of 24000gns for Harestone Ronaldinho, champion was Maerdy Rocketman from DE Evans 28 bulls sold to 10000gns and above 105 bulls sold to average £8317 (89% clearance) up £1196 on previous year Clogher March Top of 9200gns for Killadeas Raymond, champion was Crummer Rambo from A Dunne Bulls averaged £4501 Aberdeen March Top 8500gns Aultmore Reputation, champion was Elgin Robocop from RA Milne and Sons 8 bulls sold to average £6602 (73% clearance) up £1601 on previous year Exeter April Top of 6000gns for Penhargard Rhubarb, champion was Moynton Roscoe from P C Old 7 bulls sold to average £4298 (78% clearance) up £1078 on previous year Swatragh April Top of 9600gns for Glencoe Ragnarok, champion was Killadeas Robert from S & D Bothwell 30 bulls sold to average £4163 (75% clearance) up £623 on previous year Welshpool April Top of 9000gns for Teme Skyfall, champion was Graiggoch Samuel from G Jones 38 bulls sold to average £5670 (100% clearance) up £1251 on previous year Stirling May Top of 14000gns for Glenericht Robert, champion was Harestone Royaladdedvalue from R&N Barclay 30 bulls sold to Average £5845 (88% clearance) up £230 on previous year Carlisle May Top of 18000gns for Elgin Redrum, champion was Dooley Rocket from D Thornley 62 bulls sold to average £6488 (81% clearance) It’s great to see, the recent sales being so good for members, with some very impressive sale averages and clearance rates. This underpins the ever increasing demand for Charolais sired suckled calves in the marketplace, commercial buyers are willing to dig a little deeper to get the bull that they have picked, showing the confidence they have in the breed and what the bulls progeny can bring to their business. Summer Shows The 2022 summer shows are back with a bang and some much needed social interaction after a 2 year break. For those unable to attend we have live streamed the judging where possible so no one misses out on the action. The season kicked off with the Balmoral Show in early May where Bessiebell Nana by J Smyth took overall beef Champion of Champions an exceptional 4 year-old with twin calves at foot. The Charolais also finished reserve in both the Interbreed groups of 3 and team of 5. Many thanks to the Northern Ireland club for manning the stand and looking after their members. Into June we had the Royal Highland Show where Maerdy Morwr by AJR Farms reigned supreme for the 3rd consecutive year, Morwr also won the overall interbreed as well. There was success for Charolais winning the Beef Interbreed Pairs with a classy Junior duo and the Interbreed Team of 4 finished in Reserve. The Charolais stand was very well organised by Carly Mackay, huge thanks to her and her helpers. No bull works harder for the farmer, the plate and the planet 3 September newsletter 22.indd 3 16/09/2022 14:57:24
