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.
