"As the hogg season starts to come to a close with us the small number forward were very mixed and a large number are starting to shoot teeth which hindered the sale average. An increased number of lambs forward cashed in at dearer rates. It was the ewe trade however that took centre stage and was a lot dearer on the week. Export sorts still look the dearest commodity with pens after pens hill cheviots regularly £120 plus."
