Some 814 prime sheep were presented, comprising 14 spring lambs, 632 prime hoggs and 168 cast sheep.

Again this week cattle on offer were presented with more cover and flesh, and a large percentage of the cattle sold were Angus. The trade going forward gives wholesalers, butchers, and other buyers confidence to press on when cattle are finished and fattened correctly.
