“Lamb trade was comparable on the week for well fleshed sorts. Weight seems to be the commodity that's paying the best at the
moment. There were some leaner store types forward which hindered the day’s average.
A sound ewe trade was witnessed once again despite an influx of hill feeding sheep forward, there was hardly any heavy ewes
today, but those present met a firm enquiry.”
