Very large sale of sheep with increased numbers of lambs, stag ewes and breeding sheep on offer. Quality lots of ewe hoggets met with a good demand, however lighter lots were hard sold. Also lighter lots of store lambs were an easier trade with heavier store lambs and factory lambs a similar trade to previous week. Strong trade for heavier lots of stag ewes.
