Best end £185 and £182 from Thomas Binns and £170 from Fox Farms, quality sorts on the day £130-£150. A strong but plainer headed sheep £105-£120, whilst good working sheep either side of £100.
Continentals again sold well with a strong average of £129 reflecting a good sample of white faced sheep.
Good young ewes found favour, with Thomas Binns away with three pens of 2 shears over £140, but commercial sorts of ewes were harder to cash.
