PRIME SHEEP (3,091 Head)

A big show of sheep for mid-April attracted an increased attendance of buyers this week

with the average showing a lift on the week. All classes especially heavy hoggs and hill bred

hoggs were significantly dearer on the week, the very best end were fewer in number but this week trading at 280p to 300p, Hayley Baines topping the market at 315p/kg. A massive show of cast sheep found a ready ringside of buyers with all classes keenly contested, although some very plain ewes would be a shade harder to sell.
