DINGWALL, Dingwall & Highland Marts Ltd., (January, 11th) sold 659 prime sheep.

"A similar number of prime hoggs forward cashed in at comparable rates on the week. It is growing increasingly evident the difference in the values between sheep on feed and those that aren't. Hoggs with weight 46kg plus are the easiest commodity to cash and are rewarding vendors with the best returns. A phenomenal ewe trade was witnessed today. Explosive, extreme, meteoric and frenzied are only a few of the adjectives I could use to describe the trade that saw a top of £235 for a pen of Texels and the whole sale at a whopping £113 per head. Many more are required to satisfy the growing 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.
