"Hogg trade was slightly sharper on the week especially for hopper fed export types which met a firm enquiry. The difference between fed sheep and those that weren't is becoming even more evident. A very mixed show for quality greeted the usual full ring of buyers. Bigger heavier sorts would be a shade dearer for these types as, bar a handful, there wasn’t many shapey continental types forward."

*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.
