“With increased numbers forward and a large ringside of buyers this week's trade was a good bit sharper. As stated last week by my colleague in his report it really makes sense to get amongst your hoggs and take advantage of this situation. With more Blackies amongst the ewes this week the average was slightly back on last week but still registering a healthy £92.89. Please contact any of the team if requiring hoggs drawn.”

*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.
