"A smaller show of Prime lambs forward sold at increased values on the week. Unfortunately, the numbers forward today were insufficient to the demand we have here at Dingwall on a weekly basis. There were hardly any export weights forward with the sale consisting of mostly heavies or store type. There were a small number of ewes forward with no pure continental types in sight. There were one or two pens with a bit of power about them which met a firm enquiry and many more of this commodity could easily have been sold."

*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.
