"Despite an increased ringside of buyers the hoggs had to succumb to the falling national trend with hogg trade being easier on the week for all classes. It was the heavier sorts which took the biggest hit compared to the export weights. An increased number of buyers were also present within the ewe ring with trade being solid for all classes despite being slightly less on average than last week's phenomenal prices. Notwithstanding the fact that the ring wasn't graced with the same power as last week the sale still levelled at £100 per head. The heavy sorts continued to send vendors home with the best returns and many more of this commodity could easily have been sold."
