There was a large show forward of 4974 lambs to a busy ring
of buyers and with the quality of lambs on offer far better than
seen in previous months, this due to increased buyer demand for best
quality export lambs. The sale average was a very respectable 163p
and more good lambs could have been sold to advantage. The sale was
topped at 238p per kilo for Beltex from AF Young & Co., Bankhead
and to £100 per head for Texels from JA Park & Co., Drinkstone.

Another fine show of 7,595 cast ewes and rams were forward to a
full ring of buyers although demand was steady owing to the backlog
after weeks of huge numbers and resulting in trade being easier on
the week. Plainer ewes beginning to dry up and numbers likely to
slow up in coming weeks. The sale topped at 118.50 for Texel rams
from Four O Boot and Backlane. Other Texels £110.50 Severs, £103.5p
