"The Hogg ring had that end of season feel to it today. Well fleshed sorts continued to reward vendors with solid returns, however more super heavy sheep and leaner kinds were around than of late to hinder the day's average. Ewes made another phenomenal trade for the time of year. Trade was sharper on the week and yet again big heavy sorts were near non existent as those forward consisted of mainly Cheviot and Blackie ewes."
*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.
