622 Breeding Sheep

A fantastic show of sheep with lambs at foot drew a large crowd of buyers. The quality end were an exceptional trade with several vendors seeing the equivalent of £75 to £85 per life for singles and twins. With more young outfits on offer today there was greater choice for buyers looking to put sheep into a flock this summer whilst the usual selection of older sheep with strong lambs offered feeders plenty to bid at.

Today we held  our Early Show & Sale of Ewes with Lambs @ Foot. Our thanks to the judge Mr Richard Caton for offering his expertise and the Sale Sponsors Brian Hoggarth Ltd & JG Animal Health

Rearing Calves to £475

B&W av £65 Cont av £243.75 Native av £184

55 calves forward with a good quality throughout. Pick of the day had to be a British Blue from Charles Marwood, a suckled calf with lots of potential eventually touching the heights of £475. Black and White calves met an up and down trade with well fed calves good to sell with emphasis still on three weeks old plus. Angus calves making a respectable average for good strong sorts as usual.

Next week all types wanted with extra buyers in attendance a healthy consignment would be beneficial to all.
