Larger number of sheep on offer to previous week. Stag ewes met with a similar trade to previous week. The larger number of lambs on offer met with a slightly easier trade, however, there was a good demand for store lambs. The small number of ewe hoggets on offer met with a strong trade, especially for quality lots.
Gates open at 7.30pm for the summer months.
