PRIME SHEEP (3,385 Head)

A nice show of sheep given that it was Nidderdale show today, but tighter numbers countrywide led to a better trade at the afternoon markets with the overall average standing at 171.6p/kg, a rise of 8p/kg on the week, and this with over 3,000 head of lambs presented for sale as well.

The best end as usual were good to sell at Skipton with plenty of buyers for these, the “200 pence club” had 20 pens in it this week, Jimmy Towler from Grindleton was top dog at 228.2p (39kg at £89), other members were F&R Fielden, M&E Thorner, J&M Blakey, AN Throup, G Sunderland, Fox Farms, D Grassam, D Askwith, JG Hall & Son and Richard Caton. And with sales above £90 were JG Hall & Son, JF Norcross, Richard Caton and Fox Farms topped the sale at £99 with a pen of 47kg Beltex crosses purchased by Riley Bros from Dunockshaw, Burnley. A further 56 pens of lambs sold from £80 to £89.50.

The well fleshed prime lambs were generally 10-15p/kg dearer on the week, whilst the commercial lambs were around 5p/kg dearer. Hill lambs were also dearer, Mule lambs 5p up on the week at 153.7p average, whilst Swaledale lambs were 152p average, best of these 2 pens from Stuart & Debbie Robinson selling 32kg at £50.20 and 35kg at £53.50.

A much smaller show of ewes were better to sell being around £5 to £10 dearer on the week.
