We took this on as I wanted a new challenge and to add another string to our bow.
‘ I have a team of six of which I’ m one alongside my sister, Cynthia. Robert comes and helps with the washing up! We’ re particularly busy with the fortnightly stores sales on a Tuesday, the fatstock sales on a Thursday, fur and feather sales and the furniture sales, but we’ ve also taken on many special events including weddings, parties and black tie dinners. The mart looks spectacular when it’ s all decked out for those.’
Jackie has also sponsored the recent Thirsk Rising Star Calf Show held at the mart, which has pedigree classes for Aberdeen Angus, Beef Shorthorn, British Blonde, Dexter and Highland. This year Any Other Continental and Any Other Native pedigree classes were added to the existing Commercial cattle and young handlers classes. Gavel Café sponsored the new Interbreed competition providing trophies and prize money.

have a revolt! Farmers love liver just as much as they love homemade steak pie, roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, mince and dumplings, lasagne,
C cheesecake and crumble.’

John passed away in 2009 and since then Robert and Jackie have altered their fattening of cattle from purely a winter occupation to all year round.
‘ We have 170 acres of arable land growing barley to feed the cattle with beans as a greening crop,’ says Jackie.‘ Others include oats and wheat which we sell on. Our land runs along the A684 and there won’ t be many further up the dale than us who will be growing barley. The farm is ring fenced to the railway bridge and we then have 75 acres at Middlefields which we added for additional barley.
