Next up a trio of reared black and white bulls from Risborough farming sold well away to £335 a head and older stirks topped at £540 for a tidy blue bull from R & E B Drake.
Store lambs
75 store lambs penned today with something for every budget from vendors old and new! Well fleshed and shaped lambs looked as good a trade as ever but just few smaller, longer term sorts a bit harder to place. A super run of beltex x lambs from H & B Beevers flew away to £118/ head, with other none in their consignment under £103/ head. Longer term wintering lambs sold to £74/ head from common lane farm for texel/ mules and Lleyns from D Ferguson to £71. Small types sold to £42 for Lleyn and £26 for swaledale weathers.
