STORE LAMBS - WEDNESDAY 2ND OCTOBER 2019

Fortnightly Catalogue Sale of Store Lambs Forward: 7455 Head, Overall av £55.56 Store Lambs would get away reasonably well today with a decent ringside of buyers all sale looking to secure sheep. Lowland lambs were a mixed selection, smart Beltex types in the 70’s and 80’s topping £86.50 from T&C Robinson of Tosside, and £86 from Frankland Farms in Rathmell.

 




Good Suffolk and Texel Stores in the 60’s, medium keep types mid/late 50’s, long keep around £50, smallest wintering types mid late 40’s. Still several runs of strong clean headed gimmer lambs coming about, and the better end still selling for mid 70’s to mid 80’s, best at £87 £84 £83 and £80 for homebred Suffolk Mules from K Marshall of Darley, Texels to £86 and £84 from Andrew Haggas of Otterburn. Mules and Masham Wethers were a decent trade again, maybe not just as sharp time, but still a breed average of £53.40 for 2,223 head sold. Customers now about in larger numbers for wintering lambs and so Horned wethers were very keenly contested, best sorts today in the 40’s, good framed lambs late 30’s, horned average of £38. Buyers requesting a good show of Horned and Hill lambs for next time out Contact Ted Ogden 07855 958211.
