A larger show of 4,613 prime lambs levelled at 197.1p per kilo,
well ahead of most centres this week. Lambs 25-32 kilos averaged
206p and lambs 32-39 kilos averaged 200p, once lambs were getting
over 44 kilos up to 50 kilos they were not worth a whole lot more
and harder to cash. Handyweight lambs 34-38 kilos seem to be in much
demand and short of requirements. The sale was topped at 219p per
kilo for Dutch Texels from Messrs Sowerby Amoshill, with a top per
head of £98.50 for Suffolks from Barnglies and Kilnfordcroft,
