"The newly revamped hogg trade never ceases to amaze us as all classes were yet again dearer. All classes were in major demand and it was the heavier end which were privy to the greatest rise. The Hogg trade is in fact in front by 20p per kg from this point last year. Ewes also remain a solid trade and yet again flesh was lacking resulting in them being dearer".
