Prime Sheep
LAMBS (Av 230.5p/kg) – A straight trade on the day. Anything that was nicely fleshed and had been fed was keenly contested. The story of the day was smart sorts 240p to 270p, nice prime Texel and Continental crosses and Suffolks from Continental ewes 230p to 245p, Commercial types and Suffolk x Mules 220p to 230p, Lightweights 210p to 240p depending upon finish. Generally the heavier the lamb the easier it was to sell with the 38kg lambs and heavier mainly being the better finished sorts and receiving the most interest.
HOGGS – Not many in the market today, but a few nice Swaledales from Stephen Taylor, Wethercote selling away well.
CAST SHEEP – A very similar trade on the week with fewer heavy ewes on offer.
