Prime Sheep

October’s Monthly Primestock Show – The Champion award went to Kevin Huck with his 5 Beltex x Lambs weighing 42kg bought by Keelham Farm Shop for £96 per head. Show was judged by Mr Nick Dalby.

Trade was as expected, handy weighted lowland lambs were short of requirements and easy to sell, whilst heavy lambs were cheaper. Hill Bred lambs were also less money on the week following the end of Eid festival and less demand for the ethnic trade.
