“A seriously small and inadequate show of prime cattle was forward today, selling at increased rates on the week, more are required on a weekly basis to satisfy the growing demand we have in Dingwall.”

“Hoggs today met a brisk trade throughout as yet again all classes were dearer. Handy weighted export hoggs were the keenest sought after commodity. Another decent number of ewes forward saw heavy ewes in the keenest demand. The leaner end was easier as more lambing disasters are coming to the fore. Nevertheless a fantastic average of £124.69 recorded.

*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.
