MARKET REPORT – WEDNESDAY 24th JULY 2013
Fortnightly Catalogue Sale of Store Lambs
Forward: 5,480 Head
Overall av £56.59 (£59.08 in 2012)
CCM Auctions fortnightly sale of store lambs saw 5480 head forward for sale. With a bit of uncertainty caused by the recent blip in the prime trade vendors were understandably nervous. However the trade would be above expectations, strong lambs and smart lambs generally £58 to £65, a few pens pushing £70. But there was a far greater proportion of long keep lambs forward than would usually be expected for the time of year and healthy small lambs could be bought in the 40’s.
Today the Annual show & sale of Down cross lambs was held.
