The Home of

Quality Finishers

HEXHAM Mart has long been acclaimed as having one of the best weekly sales of store cattle in the country . The catchment area for these sales stretches from the Scottish borders to Yorkshire , and Cumbria and includes Northumberland and Tyne and Wear . The top cattle producers in the area choose Hexham to market their stock every Friday . This attracts cattle finishers from across the UK eager to attain the outstanding genetics on offer .
A typical weekly sale of between 150 to 1000 cattle starts with older forward stores , typically 18 to 24 months old needing the
final finish put on them . Farm shops and smaller abattoirs with feeding facilities that want to ensure the provenance of their stock , compete with elite commercial finishers for these cattle securing a competitive premium . These are followed by longer keep stores and suckled calves ideal for feeding and grazing .
Hexham has been at the forefront of the marketing of native breeds alongside the continental cattle . A special monthly sale of native breeds draws specialist finishers .
Every Tuesday the auction sells prime cattle and increasing numbers of cast cattle also electing to use Hexham as their first choice marketing outlet .

Hexham & Northern Marts are pleased to be sponsoring the ‘ Baby Beef ’ Class at Beef Expo 2022
