Second Show & Sale of North of England Mule Ewe Lambs onbehalf of NEMSA Members.

Forward: 7803 head at an overall average of £88.67 per head (- £17.38)

CCM Auctions held their 2^nd Fortnightly Sale of North of England Mule Gimmer Lambs on behalf of members of NEMSA on Tuesday at Skipton. A large show of predominantly running lambs was presented for sale, with trade seen to be cheaper than the opening sale. Stronger lambs on the day found a decent following with numbers of these not as plentiful as usually seen at this sale, an obvious hangover from the poor spring weather conditions. Running lambs generally sold from £70 to £95, smartest end £90 to £100, but customers were definitely more cautious than usual. The prize show on the morning of sale produced the following results.
