A great sale at CCM Skipton on Wednesday with trade on a high note following the rise in prime lamb trade, and there was a sale average for 4,854 Store Lambs of £63.18 per head. Good lambs for short to medium keep were in high demand, and Mule/Masham Wethers were especially good to sell with strongest end in the £70’s up to £75.50, Mules av £64.58 and Mashams £68.27.
The smart Continentals were in the £80’s, an odd pen topping at £92.50 from Townhead Farm Partners, Giggleswick, £89 Frankland Farms Rathmell, and £88 from S&L Robinosn, Barnoldswick. Strong Suffolks and Continentals were keenly contested, and we require a large show of all classes for the next sale with buyers arriving from a wide area. Speak to Jerely, Ted or Kyle for more details.
