A larger than anticipated show of 2,274 prime
lambs was forward
to a full ring of buyers, all actively buying lambs. The trade
proves that lambs don’t have to be very heavy to realise decent
money, best quality Beltex and Texel lambs still keenly sought after
and short of requirements. The overall average was 232.5p
per kilo. The most noticeable trade was the demand for lambs
between 26 and 36 kilos, which regularly sold between 230p and 260p.
More lambs now required on a weekly basis to keep our packed ring
of buyers satisfied.
