SHEEP

98 Lambs sold to 295p/kg from Riseborough Farming and to £148 from G D Stephenson & Sons; to average 252.65/kg.

Light Lambs (39.1kg–45.5kg) – 247.15p/kg

Medium Lambs (45.6kg-52kg) – 262.66/kg

105 cull sheep sold to £115 to average £85.75.

A light show of lambs forward today with farmers once again taking advantage of the good weather or lambs not being quite ready. Some nicely finished lambs found a good trade selling to tops of £148 jointly between G D Stephenson and E S Thorpe. Better lambs were consistently around the 270ppkg mark with top ppkg of the day reaching 295 from Riseborough farming. Weight and flesh sought after with under finished lambs harder to place and would look better sold in our Thursday sale. Please remember when selecting lambs, weight is only a guide, flesh sells!

In the cull section a good number of ewes sold to £115 a head for some good beltex x from H & B Beevers with similar small framed but well fleshed texel crosses regularly over £100. Horned type sold to £42.

SQQ for this week 252.65p/kg.
