NEW local butcher Alan Beecroft, of Coun- trystyle Meats, based at Clitheroe Auction Mart’s complex, supported the market well by purchasing the champion pen of prime lambs at the Clitheroe Christmas Show. The pen of four Beltex Lambs from


respected local farmer Ian Lancaster, of Wiswell, weighed 53kg and made £170 per head (321ppkg). Mr Beecroft, who judged the sheep and


cattle classes along with fellow local butcher Allan Hacking, also bought the Reserve Champion pen, weighing slightly less at 38.5kg and selling a t £80 per head (208ppkg). Buyers and sellers alike agreed it was one


of the best lamb shows in recent years, with quality lambs shown in all classes, strong demand for prime livestock and average prices exceeding expectations.


New butcher backs town’s auction A good show in the ewe classes ensured


judge Paul Kaye, of Brindle, was kept busy and the first prize pen of four continentals, from Brian Breaks, of Newton, went on to make £56 per head, selling to Mr A. Sander­ son. In the cattle show Ian Pickup, of Great


Harwood, took the Championship with a three-quarter Belgian Blue Steer weighing 569kg and making 240ppkg, selling to Her- vey Magnall, owner of the Fishermans Retreat restaurant, in Ramsbottom. Reserve Champion was a Belgian Blue heifer shown by Ian Lancaster, of Wiswell, weighing 501kg and selling for 200ppkg to Jimmy Wood, of Bowland Foods, Preston. A prize for the highest priced cull cow for


the day was given to R. Gill and Son, of Sab- den, with a continental cow weighing 713kg reaching 73ppkg.


A TREMENDOUS entry of dairy cattle at Gis­ burn Auction Mart’s Christmas show and sale produced a buoyant trade. A stunning second calver from Simon Thomp­


son, of Longridge, took the overall champion award to pick up an array of silverware. Giving 48 litres and 28 days calved, she went on to sell for £2,020, to producer/retailer Hector Buck- ley,of Denby Dale, Huddersfield. Eric Armer, of Catforth, picked up first and


third prize rosettes in the newly calved pedigree heifer class, his heifers later selling for £2,150 and £1,940. Heifer rearer David Graveston, of Bolton-by-


Bowland, sold his Canyon-Breeze Allen-sired heifer, giving 30 litres, for £2,350 to Colin Mid­ dleton, of the Mittondale herd of Whalley. H. Parkinson & Sons, of Chipping, were


delighted when they picked up the first and third prize rosettes in the commercial newly-calved

109 arrests. Police were presented with an award a t the annual Crimestoppers charity ball, which took place last month at Farring­ ton Lodge in Leyland.


Det. Insp. Pete Simm said: “I am delighted to receive this award on


made to Crimestoppers resulting i n ................ - - -


behalf of the Division and I hope people are reassured that we treat all information very seriously and we will take robust action where possible. Crimestoppers continues to be a major tool in our fight against crime in East Lancashire. As a result of calls to the anony­


mous number last year we were able to arrest 109 people, which demon­ strates how valuable the informa­ tion is to the police. “Even when it is not possible to


make an arrest, the information helps us to build a picture of who is committing crime in the area.


Ignoring crime encourages crim­ 1


inals and I urge members of the public to continue to call Crimestoppers on 0800 555111.” Crimestoppers is a registered


charity and anyone whose informa­ tion leads to an arrest may be enti­ tled to an award.
