DINGWALL, Dingwall & Highland Marts Ltd., (August, 17th) sold 1,180 prime sheep.

Feeding sheep (601) sold to £175 gross for a Beltex ewe from 25 Camult Muir, Kiltarlity.
“A similar number of lambs forward cashed in at slightly less on the week for a show that was lacking flesh. A good number of store types and under finished lambs at weight were forward and hindered the day's average. Anything well finished was keenly bid for. Another good number of ewes were presented today to a larger than usual ringside of buyers. Heavy and best pure continental ewes were a scarce commodity and realized premium prices. A lot of lean ewes were present and also met a firm enquiry.”
