“The lamb trade continued from last week's uphill curve and were slightly dearer for a plainer show forward. There were plenty of lambs up to weight but lacking flesh today, which hindered the overall average. Another fantastic number of ewes for this time of year were forward and many a fresh face appeared in the vendors list. Trade was sharper with not a lot of meat around and many more could easily have been sold”
