Breeding Sheep (2,209 Head)
Incorporated into today’s sale was the Annual Show & Sale of Geld Gimmer Hoggs and Hoggs with Lambs at foot attracting a total entry of 2,209 head comprising 569 Geld Hoggs and 728 Sheep with 912 Lambs at foot.
Buyers were a little more cautious than of late, but still the strong outfits of Mule and Continental Hoggs with lambs at foot were good to sell, John Stapletons homebred Texel Hoggs with Beltex lambs at £290 were the sale leaders and his run created an enormous amount of interest. David Coates’s champion pen of Mule Hoggs led that section at £255 per outfits whilst Robert Johnson had a run of 150 Mule Hoggs with lambs and they sold away to a top of £240 per outfit. Several good runs of hoggs with lambs already entered for next weeks sale which will be at the usual time of 11:30am in The Lingfield Sale ring. Please let us have entries by 12noon on Friday for inclusion in the weekly online catalogue.
