PRIME SHEEP (3,881 Head)

A vast increase in sheep numbers today, but trade still good for the time of year with an overall average of 215p still achieved. The 40kg plus lambs were good to sell 210p to 230p, as did the heavies up around 50kg making 200p to 220p pleanty at £105 to £110 topping at £116. The handy weight lambs (38/39kg) were well sold as long as they were well fleshed or a bit smarter, ¾ bred types 230p to 250p. There was also quite a bit of export trade for nice 34kg to 37kg lambs but again they need to be good meat. A large show of cast sheep found a nice level trade.
