A smaller show of 2,382 prime lambs was forward
to the usual full ring of buyers with a very different attitude to
buying sheep compared to last week. All firms keen for lambs
with the average levelling out at 190p up some 15p on the week. With
Ramadam coming towards an end we hope that the lamb trade is going
to level out at a sensible rate for everybody.

Mr H Fisher, The Beeches which realised £89 to M. Lomax. 2nd prize

sold, but lean ewes realisation.
