Fortnightly Catalogue Sale of 2,637 Store Lambs & Breeding Sheep
Forward: 2,637 Head, (Overall av £51.26)
A sharper trade all round and a full ringside of customers all eager for sheep. Stronger lambs good to sell, especially Mules which were sharper than the previous sale. Quite a few folk with end of season lambs that found a good enquiry for customers looking for the longer keep type of lamb. A very mixed show of horned lambs saw a few pens of stronger end in the £40’s but generally they were longer keep sorts.
Next Sale is Wednesday 14th December – Entry of 3,000 to 4000 Lambs expected.
Entries close this coming Monday (5th Dec) @ 4pm
