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.

most loads to sell. Hay met the best audience of the Autumn with both round and

Barley quads the most competitive.
