Kibble Valley livestock sales by satellite


A NEW era in livestock auctioning began on Tuesday in the Ribble Valley, promising to beam images of local cattle and sheep across


the country via a revolutionary satellite system.


Clitheroe Auction Mart lias taken tile north west­


ern franchise of Central Livestock Auction Satel­ lite Sales (CLASS), open­ ing the floor for Ribble Valley animals, to be sold directly from the farm. Unlike other electronic


computer based systems, CLASS is a visual service. Each week, fieldsmen from Clitheroe Satellite Auctions, a subsidiary of the auction mart company, will be visiting farms to video livestock that will be offered for sale. The videos are then sent


for lots as they appear on the screen before auction­ eers. Their bids are made by telephone with ono of M special brokers.


Farmers are also able to


view their own stock being sold without leaving the farm and withdraw am­ bits failing to reach the reserve. Cl,ASS started operating in October 1992 and now boasts a weekly turnover of 800 cattle and 1.590 lambs. "This is the ultimate


electronic auction." com­ mented Clitheroe Satellite Auctions fieldsman Mr Jeremy McGrath. “ The potential is huge. Farmers can sell direct from the farm, while abattoirs can buy livestock without leaving their premises."


Bid to tackle increase in card fraud


MORE effective measures are needed to heat the increasing problem of credit card fraud, savs Ribble Valiev Ml* Nigel Evans. Mr Evans has been waging a campaign for the


accounts for nearly £-100 million a year, could be reduced under a system of


introduction o f credit cards which carry the owner's photograph. Credit card fraud, which


photographs on cards, lie said. Already a system run by


the Royal Bank of Scot­ land and the National and Provincial has managed to reduce fraud by up to 99G in trial areas and it is now available to all their customers. Mr Evans stressed tile urgency for banks to


introduce a cheap practical method to beat fraud, as it is the customer who ulti­ mately pays for the losses. He added: "1 will con­


tinue to place pressure on the banks to equip all


"flexible friends" with


crime-beating photo­ graphs."
