"The national trend of trade easing continued this week. Well fleshed lambs were keenly bid for however and more could easily have been sold. Again hoggs with flesh were wanted but the leaner end remain hard to place. A lot of lean ewes were present today with trade on a whole easier. Best pure ewes remain the easiest commodity to cash."
