A larger show of 6,673 prime lambs were forward
to the usual full ring of buyers resulting in an average of 179.2p overall and a SQQ
183.8p, well ahead of this weeks national trend.
Noticeable was the
fact that good export lambs between 37-42kgs were every bit as dear
per head as 43-48kgs which are forward in too large a number for
the volume required.
Lambs should be drawn lighter to fit the majority
of requirements, heavy lambs 50kg plus were easier on the week but
light weight lambs under 34kg short of requirements and dearer on
the back of the buoyant store trade.
