"A New Year brings copious amounts of fresh faces to the vendors list at Dingwall Mart. Those that made the trek were richly rewarded with the top gross price per head going to a first time consignor. Hogg trade was comparable on the week with more fleshed sorts on the shopping aisle which lit up the faces of the usual ringside of buyers.
The ewes met a steady trade throughout, with more power around than there has been of late. More are required on a weekly basis to satisfy the ever growing buyer demand."

*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.
