Geoff Walker It is with great sadness we have to announce the unexpected passing of Geoff Walker on the 28th May. He is well known in the farming community for doing any job as long as he could sit in a machine, whether it be a digger, tractor or his much-loved JCB, otherwise known as his right arm. Sadly he leaves behind his wife Sue, his children and grandchildren. Geoff’s funeral will take place on the 13th July. The funeral service itself will

be invite only due to the current situation, but if anyone would like the details of Geoff’s final journey and/or socially distanced wake, please contact Sue on 07592733707. To allow everyone to pay their respects in some way, whether you are attending in person or not, we would like as many people as

possible to wear something with red or a red ribbon. We have set up a PayPal Pool for a collection in memory of Geoff for people who wish to contribute either to the JCB flowers or donate to Air Ambulance UK. We will be splitting any money 50/50 unless people tell

us they have a preference. https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/8pMMmCwwty?fbclid=IwAR30fA8UDWw6avBhnhX-

during lockdown. These include a drop and go for vendors leaving maximum space available for

GENUINE buyers who must remain socially distanced at all times in the rings and around the

market. Positions in the rings are clearly marked out and are strictly on a first come first served

basis. Please help us to keep the live markets operating for you.

Farm assurance status Would all cattle vendors selling cattle as Farm Assured please ensure that their Farm Assurance is up to

date, with all linked holdings registered to the primary holding, and ensure that the stickers used in passports match the details held by the administering Farm Assurance body. We are increasingly having

issues with linked holdings not being covered under a primary FABBL account, and severe deductions are being applied at the time of slaughter. In such instances, the vendor is liable for all deductions made

Named/Numbered Sires Vendors are advised that named sires must be officially printed on the passport of the animal and not hand written. We will not sell animals as being named or numbered sire if the sire details are not printed onto the passport. Sire

details may be checked with the breed societies online to ensure that they are correct. Please also include sire details on your blue entry forms which accompany cattle to market. Thank you for your cooperation.

Perhaps, a bit short of numbers this week, I would blame the weather although it rained all day, some south of Melton Mowbray would have started combines rolling on Sunday/Monday. This week again a lift in trade particularly the better end of cattle… as “Lock-Down” allows one Vendor per entry to stay and watch their stock sold, will be great to see Vendors stand behind what they produce and see the trade and what trade is doing and what is wanted… Again, great to see New Faces (old to me…) selling first time in Melton Mowbray today… 50 Vendors today selling to 15 Buyers ringside purchasing on 21 Accounts…

***More Cattle in ALL Classes Required!! Entries please to me 07786 771110 or 01604 505267***

Steers: A few less about this week, but what a difference in trade with the average p/kg certainly dearer on the week… Hopefully with “Lock-Down” easing, restaurants etc. re-opening we will see a lift (or consistency) in trade.
