PIGS


A quieter show of sows this week compared with last week, with the top price remaining up within the region of £200, with top p/kg very similar to last week along with the average. Market topped in both columns this week by a couple of well finished sows from R Fisher & Sons, Fitling. Trade remaining steady throughout and still very similar to what we’ve seen recently.
Cull Sows to 57p/kg and £199.50, average 53.14p/kg.

SHEEP


With it being breeding & store sheep sale week a very healthy show across all categories of sheep & lambs. Demand keeping high from previous weeks on the store market. However, average dropping slightly due to the lack of finish on various pens of store lambs. Trade steady throughout as well, with no real premium seen for early or late lambs within the sale. Condition is key though, lambs lacking flesh were knocked yesterday, especially those over 40-42kg but lacking finish. A good variety of sheep forward for the breeding sale with females topping at £228 for a pen of Suffolk Gimmers from N A Peyman, Preston.
