"Lamb trade was comparable on the week with more top end weight about. Best heavy sheep met a firm enquiry and many more could easily have been sold. Another grand number of ewes forward saw all classes similar on the week with less weight about. Anything that was fleshy returned grand prices to vendors and were short of buyer's requirements"
