rewarding trade.

CALVES (2) Auctioneer: Roger Waters
Only two calves on offer they sell well. Stuart Thomas’ Aberdeen Angus cross bull £210
and Aberdeen Angus cross heifer to £165.

SHEEP (339) - Auctioneer: Nick Young
HOGGETS (330)
A very short entry as a result of the adverse weather and poor trading conditions. That
said certain best lambs would be as dear as anywhere in the country, in particular,
congratulations to Danny Woolgar on achieving a resounding top price of 168.3p per
kilo, closely followed by Hollycombe Farms 166.2p. Sadly the also rans did not achieve
their full value potential. The national price remains severely depressed. We hope that
the Feb/Mar trade will be an improved one.
Leading prices per head:- F W & M J Akehurst £78, £76.50, £70, Ashdown & General
Land Co. £70, £68, FG Coles £68, £65, AD Woolgar £68, RD Thomas £67.50, £66.50,
AL Ainslie £67, Hollycombe Farms Ltd £65.
Leading price per kilo:- A D Woolgar 168.3p, 153.5p,144.2p, Hollycombe Farms Ltd

142.5p, 140p, 139.6p, C Unsted 144.7p, RD Thomas 144.2p, FG Coles 141.4p.
EWES (11)
Far too few to judge. We predict the trade is sure to improve soon.
F W & M J Akehurst £57, DM Pinney £45.
STORE LAMBS & BREEDING SHEEP (28)
Nothing like enough on offer, but a very fast trade which bore no resemblance to the
finished price. G N & J West £50, RFF Brown £45, £42.

Sheep auctioneers note:- I am aware a certain number made a cultural and social
expedition to Hastings following a party in Broad Oak last Saturday and I am curious to
know what happened . !!!!

NEW TB RULES FOR 2013
From 1st January 2013 all cattle holdings in East Sussex will become twelve month TB testing holdings and, therefore, their movement between holdings will be subject to TB pre-movement testing South East Marts are pleased to announce that
HAILSHAM MARKET WEDNESDAY
will now be able to accept cattle, i.e. cull cows, finished cattle, etc. from East
Sussex without TB Pre-movement Testing
in their EXEMPT MARKET SECTION
Cattle sold through the EXEMPT MARKET SECTION will need to be moved from the
market direct to a slaughterhouse, direct to an Approved or Exempt Finishing Unit or can be returned to the farm if unsold, i.e. the Only cattle from TB unrestricted herds in East Sussex will be acceptable It is a requirement of the AHVLA that cattle are physically separated from other cattle and sold at the end of the sale to restricted destinations as listed before. N.B. There appears to be some confusion over TB movement time periods:- Cattle ‘moving off’ of TB free herds that are required to test annually and subject to TB pre-movement testing still have 60 days to be ‘moved off’ from the start date of the test. Please note that the sixty day period runs from the start date of the test and not four days later when the cattle are pronounced clear. **The livestock market system still providing choice
and competition to the livestock industry **
To test for TB or not to test for TB that is the question ?
Please keep in touch with us at Hailsham over your requirements, always happy to help and advise. Notification of cattle for the Exempt Market Section will be much appreciated. All other livestock marketing operations on a Wednesday continue as normal ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ WEDNESDAY, 23rd JANUARY

As the organisation of the Heathfield Show warms up culminating in Show day on Saturday 25th May we are investigating ways in which we can publicise the Show more widely. Last year we had great success with large trailer boards positioned strategically around the counties on major roads. We hope to increase this form of advertising in 2013 and are looking for trailers which are no longer wanted but are still roadworthy and towable. If you have anything that will serve our purpose please contact the Show Secretary, Nicola Magill, on 01435 864587.
