Prime & Cast Sheep (4,709 Head)
A very busy sale to end the
year. As expected, lambs were dearer
than 2 weeks ago, but nowhere near as dear as last week. Todays’ sale included
a lot of heavy lambs with 20% of the entry scaling 45.5kg or more, whilst 36%
of the entry were either Mule or Horned lambs. Export weight lambs were nice to
sell, 180p to 200p/kg for the commercial sorts, 220p to 250p for the smart end.
Hill bred lambs sold away at between £2 and £5 dearer than 2 weeks ago.
A massive show of ewes sold nicely,
again well in front of prices seen a month since.
