PRIME SHEEP (5,028 Sheep)

 

 

  Sponsors of the Monthly Prime Sheep Show

 

 

Again a large show of sheep at Skipton attracted a big ringside of customers with 15 separate

buyers stood at the ringside today representing 27 different end users. The trade for lowland

lambs was generally a touch sharper on the week, whilst Hill lambs were a shade easier, the

overall average showing a very similar end result. Even with the vast show, todays’ sale was completed in a little over 4 and half hours with the last ewe sold at 6:20pm. Best quality sorts were good to sell as the Beltex average of 200p/kg shows whilst Texels averaged a strong 165p. Heavy lambs generally around 150p to 160p with some very heavy 55kg to 60kg at £85 to a top of £95, but it was the first cross Continental export weights that were especially good to sell, 38/39kg well fleshed at £63 to £67, 40/41kg at £64 to £68, 42/43kg at £68 to £73. Cast sheep continue to recover in price and get dearer week by week.

NOTE TO VENDORS: Most vendors are belly clipping lambs prior to sale which is to your advantage as the majority of buyers now prefer them to be clipped. If you are unable to do them at home prior to consigning sheep to market then take advantage of Gordon Banks clipping service at the mart on the morning of sale. If you wish to discuss this further please contact Ted Ogden at the Mart Office
