Prime Cattle to 219ppk and £1466 Barren Cows to 178ppk and £1309

A small but good quality entry of prime and cull cattle were rewarded with a strong trade for all on offer with best finished

cattle to 219ppk given for a tremendous 612kg Limousin bred heifer from Mark Davis of Burlescombe which realised a

very decent £1337 whilst top total price for prime cattle was a massive £1466 (758kg x 194ppk) for a grand heavyweight

British Blue steer from Keith and Hilary Harvey of Bovey Tracey. More top notch cattle saw a well bred and covered

640kg Blonde heifer from Michael and Stephen Harvey of Hennock draw 209ppk and £1334 with the best of a good run

from Roger Adams, Cullompton (a 546kg Simmental steer) also rising to 209ppk. A couple of well turned out 550kg

Aberdeen Angus steers from Adrian Bowden, Drewsteignton both took home 200ppk. Best of the barren cows topped at

an incredible 178ppk for an eye catching 724kg Limousin from Mark Davis again, which grossed at £1285. Further grand

sorts saw South Devon barreners from Luke Knight of Ottery St Mary ease to 160ppk and £1309 whilst Aberdeen Angus

cows from Graham Heard, Broadclyst sold well and to 136ppk and £919. Dairy bred cows in demand with Holsteins to

£841 (716kg x 118ppk) for Steve Loud of Colyton and Jerseys reaching £351 (472kg x 75ppk) for GCB Davis of Westleigh, Tiverton.

his 34kg Scotch wethers made £78 and Abel Bros of Tavistock had

identical at £77.50 & 228ppk. SQQ of 227ppk down just 6p due

entirely to quality. The first of the New Season prime lambs saw 38kg

and Lleyn ram at £120, other ewes to £117.50 for a trio of Texel’s from Steve Webber & Jo Tucker of Umberleigh and

£115, £107 & £104.50 for the usual quality continental’s from Mark Harvey of Slapton and Dominic Harvey of Tiverton

367 CULL EWES & 20 RAMS/WETHERS

A short entry of just under 400 cull sheep sold with a better feel to the trade as mule and other medium weight ewes

were noticeably dearer than seen in a long time. Best crossbred ewes to £90 for a pair of Black Texels from Tracey

Pike of Luppit, £89.50, £88.50 & £86 for penfuls of strong Suffolk crosses from Tom Yandle of Mamhead and £87 for

few lots sold under £25. Rams a touch stronger trade too with Brad Simmons also topping these with a weighty

Suffolk selling at £99 followed by AJ Carter with a Texel at £92.50 and B Moseley of Hittisleigh realised £89. All cull

sheep averaged £62, which is up £10 on the week, half of the lift is due to quality, the other half is the strength of

trade.

RURAL REFLECTION DECEMBER 2020 Well suddenly we see ourselves in December and hopefully many of you will now have received your BPS payment!

Some farmers have also received their Countryside Stewardship payment alongside their Basic Payment which is an

added bonus. Looking back over the year, it has definitely been a different one with aspects nobody could have

planned for but over all of the Kivells office and departments, we continue to keep busy and we thank all of our

clients for their continued support whilst we work in a COVID secure way.

Having recently returned from maternity leave, it is good to be back in the office and get up to date with all of the on

goings and see many clients at market. Within the office we are seeing the Countryside Stewardship Applications

applied for back in the summer being approved, mainly the smaller ones at present but compared to previous years

we are seeing them come through a lot earlier. The Small Countryside Productivity Grants that were applied for back

at the beginning of November have also started to trickle in, which is looking promising and those businesses that

have been approved for a grant, have until 31st March 2021 to receive and pay for their items before making a claim.

The Agricultural Bill became Law on 11th November, which sets the scene for the 7 year agricultural transition period

between 2021 – 2027. This sees the phasing out of the Basic Payment Scheme, delinking of Direct Payments (BPS) and

the introduction of the New Environmental Management Scheme. DEFRA have outlined the key changes with the

main aspects in 2021 being;

1) The removal of greening rules – crop diversification, Ecological Focus Areas (EFA’s) and the permanent

grassland rules will no longer be relevant but this will not affect the overall payment received as the greening

money will instead be added to the BPS entitlement value.

2) The first reductions to BPS – everyone will receive a reduction of 5% on their first £30,000 of payments with

bigger reductions on the higher payment bands.

3) Start of a 3 year national pilot for the Environmental Land Management Scheme.

4) Improvements to existing schemes - the Countryside Stewardship Scheme will continue to be available with the

last new applications being accepted in 2023. Anyone that has a Countryside Stewardship Agreement that starts

after January 2021, who gets offered a new Environmental Land Management Scheme, will be able to withdraw

and transfer to the new scheme with no penalty. Therefore anyone considering applying for a new Countryside

Stewardship agreement in 2021, it is worth looking to see what options are out there.

On the property side, we have seen a tremendous couple of months here at Exeter with a range of property types

seeing prices often achieving in excess of their guide prices. We have just completed on Higher Swannaton Farm

which included an extensive farmhouse, two well designed barn conversions, an extensive range of modern and

traditional agricultural outbuildings along with 57 acres of pasture land in a stunning location which saw a huge

amount of interest. We have also completed on the Land at Christow being a smaller acreage on the edge of

Dartmoor. We where we were inundated with interest and it sold well in excess of the guide prices. This shows the

huge demand for small pieces of land where people can own ‘a little piece of Devon’, something we have seen

increasingly popular since the first lockdown.

Following a very successful Autumn trading in the farm agency department, we have a number of blocks of land and

farms in the pipeline so please watch this space, and give the office a call to get registered so you are kept up to date

with any properties coming on the market. Likewise if you are interested in discussing the possibility of selling in the

spring, please do not hesitate to contact your local Kivells office a call and we would be more than happy to carry out

a market appraisal and discuss how we can help with marketing.

Weather wise, compared to the autumn of 2019; 2020 has been very kind to us with opportunities to get the winter

crops in and livestock staying out slightly later than they would have in 2019. Let’s hope this weather continues and

we do not have a long winter ahead.

As always, please give your local property and professional office a call if we can help with any matter and ‘we wish

you all a jolly Christmas but a jolly safe Christmas!’
