Overall Average                                   95.28p/kg             £630.75

Despite a slow cast cow trade nationwide, today saw cattle a touch firmer. Dairy types comfortably got away at 100p+ for both meat and steakers. Plains although less plentiful again a better  trade. Time of year causes less Beef x cattle to be available tops 120.5p but no pures in today’s entry to test export demand.

PRIME SHEEP (4,714 head)

A larger show of sheep were forward for sale this week, with trade mainly the same as the previous week. The smart end were a sharp trade, the usual good ringside of retail butcher buyers, wholesalers and premium exporters bid keenly for anything a bit smarter. The commercial export lambs were also short of requirements with anything 37kg to 39kg mainly around 180p to 190p. The 40kg to 42kg lambs were also similar to sell at 175p to 190p, but the 44kg and over lambs, of which there were 1545 head amongst the entry, were 1.4p/kg easier on the week as buyers shy away from over fat lambs.

Hill lambs were good to sell all sale long, especially horned lambs with decent lightweight types 150p to 160p.
