379 Breeding Sheep comprising 107 Ewes with 171 Lambs & 101 Store & Geld Hoggs
An increased show of 379 Head for the weekly sale attracted a larger contingent of buyers. Trade would be slightly better on the week with a few pens of nice Texel ewes with lambs topping £200, but a solid trade for the commercial outfits with plenty of choice for buyers and prices ranging from the equivalent of £45 to £65 per life.
NEXT MONDAY - Special Show & Sale of 250 to 350 Outfits of Ewes with Lambs at Foot.
4 Classes for judging: Pair of Cont/Suffolk X Ewes with Lambs, Pen of 5 Cont/Suffolk X Ewes with Lambs. Pair of Mule/Halfbred Ewes with Lambs, Pen of 5 Mule/Halfbred Ewes with Lambs.
