“A smaller show of sheep forward saw anything with a weight about it or been of feed still meeting a firm enquiry throughout. As per the national trend the export sheep were harder to cash and therefore easier on the week. It is paying now more than ever to get your lambs on to feed for them to reach their full potential. Another strong trade greeted the ewe vendors today with power being in seriously short supply. The sale mostly consisted of Hill Cheviots and trade overall would be similar on the week.”

*Notice to Vendors*
Could all vendors of prime lambs please deliver their lambs to the Mart before 10.30 A.M. to allow us time to have them clipped prior to the start of the sale. Thank You.
