Fortnightly Catalogue Sale of Store Lambs & Breeding Sheep
Forward: 6,346 Head, Overall av £56.75
An improved trade today for store lambs with more buzz about the ringside, especially for the longer keep types. Continental lambs saw mid 60’s upwards as a regular figure for the strong end, whilst nice lambs were either side of £60 and long keep sorts mid 50’s. Mule Wethers were a much improved trade with a strong contingent of buyers eager for numbers and the 1,662 on offer levelled at £54.98 each, best end up to £64 from Chris Ryder.
Next Sale is Wednesday 18th October – Entry of 8,000 expected.
