PRIME SHEEP (4601 Head)
A big show of lambs as is now traditional for the first week in October were forward for sale and found a very keen ringside of buyers to average up 10p on the week at 172p/kg. All weights were good to sell with Mule lambs and heavy lambs of all breeds finding buyers in good form trying to fill orders ready for next week’s ethnic festival. Continental and Suffolk lambs were £4 to £6 apiece dearer on the week with export weights generally £30 to £34 over the weight and smartest end 190p to 240ppk. Cast Sheep were good to sell and the overall average stands at over £60 per head.

REARING CALVES to £430 average £139.23
A good show of calves this morning with all calves good to sell. Black and whites with plenty of flesh were a strong trade and easily pushing past £100. Blues were supported well with Fred Houseman having the trade of the day with a 1 ½ mth old Blue bull which eventually was crashed down to Tony Binns of Clint. Good numbers in demand in particular meaty Friesians for next week.
