Livestock Auction

Hull Livestock Market – 4^th August 2025 – Fatstock Market

Forward – 46 head of stock including 9 Sheep and 37 Pigs.

PIGS
Smaller show all round today on the Fat Market, but a few heavy gilts forward and plenty of demand for them, topping at 114p/kg for a smaller end type from Foster Farms, Catwick, selling to Parkin Family Butchers, Howden. Bacon pigs selling to 180p/kg for a smart pen of three gilts from C F Buckton & Son, Rise to Propa Meats, Roos. A lot of smaller leaner sows forward, which is shown in the gross prices, but probably a better trade than recently all things considered.

Bacon Pigs to 180p/kg and £175.20, average 180.0p/kg.
Heavy Gilts to 114p/kg and £156.78, average 88.9p/kg.

Cull Sows to 55p/kg and £155.10, average 52.3p/kg.
Cull Boar to 44p/kg and £132.88.

SHEEP
Just a handful of lambs this week from Brown & Suddaby, Bempton, with sheep almost to order now on fat market weeks, a good trade though, averaging over 375p/kg for a run of quality lambs, topping at £177, sold to M Wilson Butcher, Patrington.

PRIME LAMB
Heavies to 380p/kg and £177, average 376.3p/kg.

THE CATTLE MARKET
DUNSWELL
FATSTOCK AND FORTNIGHTLY STORE MARKET

Forward – 220 head of stock including 15 Cattle, 153 Sheep and 52 Pigs.

PIGS
A much heavier show of sows this week, with the top price being back up to just shy of £200, with top p/kg very similar to last week and the average just slightly better as well. Market topped in both columns this week by a monster sow from J T Stubbings & Son, Helperthorpe. A good run of heavy gilts, unfortunately one or two buyers missing for these this week for different reasons but trade steady throughout for them and still very similar to what we’ve seen recently.

Heavy Gilts to 104p/kg and £147.25, average 87.8p/kg.

Cull Sows to 56p/kg and £197.83, average 53.5p/kg.

SHEEP
Another good show of lambs this week on the store market, which is certainly where the demand for them is. Trade steady throughout as well, with no real premium seen for early or late lambs within the sale. Condition is key though, lambs lacking flesh were knocked yesterday, especially those over 40-42kg but lacking finish. Strong demand for store lambs, promising signs with a good show expected next week for the Breeding Sheep & Store Lamb Sale.

Prime Lambs
Standards to 330p/kg and £127, average £329.9p/kg.
Mediums to 371p/kg and £167, average 344.5p/kg.
Heavies to 346p/kg and £161, average 324.1p/kg.
Over-weights to 282p/kg and £155, average 281.8p/kg.
SQQ 343.6p/kg.

Cull Ewes to £172, average £152.33.

Store Lambs to £129, average £117.85.

CATTLE
Another small show of cattle, but this is wholly attributable to the time of year, we’ve sold more cattle in August this year than we have done for a long time. Half a dozen good store beast forward though, seeing a healthy trade, especially considering the timing, on a real harvesting day. There’s always demand for calves at the moment and yesterday was no exception, with another good trade, more calves expected next week, with some entered for today unable to travel due to a slow postal service.

Store Cattle
Blonde D’Aquitaine Steers to £1,520, average £1,387.
Blonde D’Aquitaine Heifers to £1,295, average £1,263.

Calves
Limousin Bull to £700.
British Blue Bulls to £675, average £673.
British Blue Heifer to £615.
Hereford Bulls to £580, average £565.
Holstein Bull to £305.
