ANIMAL X ANIMAL Y
Trade buoyant in 2024 View from the Rostrum
Matthew Probert on the year in sales
This farming year seems to have flown by and now, with time to reflect and review sales, it can be said that farmers have enjoyed extremely buoyant trade for all classes of stock throughout 2024.
The sale prices achieved often exceeded all expectations, with both new individual and sale average records set throughout the country.
The spring season saw sheep and lamb couples often achieve £130 to £150 per life, while the prime hoggs, lambs and ewes regularly achieved £170 to £200.
The much anticipated autumn sales did not disappoint, with prices taking a much welcome rise, seeing breeding sheep achieving £220 to £250, rams £800 to £1,000, gimmer lambs £150 to £170 and store lambs averaging upwards of £90.
The cattle trade has held its own,
with beef now creeping up to unseen levels. Strongest stores are now easily £1,900-£2,000 with their younger counterparts, and spring-born suckled calves seeing steers at £1,100-£1,400 and heifers at £900-£1,200.
The cull market continues to perform well with cows regularly averaging 180 to 190ppkg and the ewes £110 to £120.
As a nation, we are now consuming our national breeding herd and breeding flock, which will have a knock-on effect on supply and potentially food security.
Quality
The success of the 2024 sales has been in no small part due to the care, attention, quality and pride that British farmers have in their stock and what they produce, for which they should all be congratulated.
It was great to see some of these honoured at the recent British Farming Awards.
We as auctioneers and auction mart operators are extremely honoured and privileged to be part of the UK agricultural industry, having served for more than 200 years. As market operators, we are extremely fortunate to have such a passionate and loyal customer base for which we will continue to work and serve with pleasure and pride.
One of the most recent challenges for many has been the outbreak
of bluetongue and the restrictions imposed by the ever expanding restricted zone. Our thanks must go to the Livestock Auctioneers Association and the tireless work its members have done to ensure that stock from within the ‘zones’ can still be traded, therefore allowing producers to receive a fair price.
As we look forward to the upcoming Christmas shows and sales we again have an opportunity to celebrate all things good about British farming, with these days giving producers the opportunity to gather to celebrate, reflect and no doubt speculate about the future of farming for which there will currently be no shortage of topics.
As an industry, we have so much to be proud of and deservedly so. So let us keep shouting and get the nation to ‘Back British Farming’.

Property Landscape Current outlook for the land market
Adapting to the impacts of the Budget
The Budget announcements have not been kind to agriculture or the ownership of land and rural businesses. The one spark of good news is that there does not appear to be any changes to Rollover Relief, which allows sellers of land to roll over the tax liabilities into other qualifying assets.
This may have the unintended consequence of increasing sale prices if there is a greater amount to shelter from tax. However, it is hard to say if the changes to Capital Gains Tax will alter the supply and demand rhythm of the market.
Main drivers
The main drivers for selling in today’s market are the lack of succession, retirement or debt reduction. We have undertaken over 1,250 farm business reviews so far under the Farm Business Advice Service (a free service for farm businesses funded by Defra) helping farmers in the North understand their long-term business aspirations in a no-subsidy world.
Asset sales for reinvestment has been the answer for some, while others have decided that it is time to quit altogether. The realisation that change opens doors to new opportunities has been the overwhelming response. Changes to Inheritance Tax rates and reliefs will impact many family businesses and restructuring will be essential between now and April 2026. The agricultural tenancy sector has been given somewhat of a lifeline by retaining Agricultural Property Relief, even at the reduced levels.
Confirmation of a reduced budget for Defra – matching the underspend of the previous Government – which, together with higher costs, could have considerable impact on farm incomes and cashflow, could easily bring more land to the market.
John Coleman
If the supply of land outstrips demand, we may see prices start to fall. More likely, it will encourage more non-farmer buyers who are looking for natural capital projects which create ‘green credits’ for sale to the building and other ‘dirty’ industries.
Strong farm businesses will prevail, and we anticipate the opportunity for economies of scale will help keep prices high for the very best land and property. It would be a brave agent who suggests that the price of land will continue to rise next year, but there are sufficient positive measures which would indicate that they are not likely to fall by any dramatic measure.
North East prices
The North East of England has been active throughout 2024, although the initial rush to the market in spring slowed up considerably with the General Election announcement and persistently stubborn interest rates.
Some exceptional prices have been achieved across the region, with parcels of prime arable land on the Co Durham/North Yorkshire border exceeding £20,000 per acre, bringing the average price above £11,500 for the first time since GSC Grays started keeping records 10 years ago.
