FATSTOCK AND FORTNIGHTLY STORE MARKET
to include...
Hull Livestock Market – 29th June 2026 – Fatstock & Fortnightly Store Market
Forward – 172 head of stock including 6 Cattle, 140 Sheep and 26 Pigs.
PIGS
A smaller show of sows this week, with trade still right back due to the oversupply on the continent. Heavy gilts were very heavy this week, with nothing under 175kg and the trade showing that. Bacon pigs straight to what is being achieved elsewhere with gilts to 140p/kg from K J Moore & Sons, Weel.
Cutter Gilts to 140p/kg and £129.27, average 140.0p/kg.
Heavy Gilts to 46p/kg and £82.34, average 33.4p/kg.
Cull Sows to 22p/kg and £60.00, average 19.6p/kg.
SHEEP
Another very good show of lambs, with some tremendous quality on offer today, topping at 415p/kg for a pen of heavies from J C Aconley & Sons, Brandesburton, selling to Shans (UK) Ltd, Ossett or £197 from E Brown & S Suddaby, Bempton. Hoggs are starting to die a death now, both in numbers and trade, but with July starting this week, it’s nothing we wouldn’t very much expect.
Spring Lambs
Standards to 390p/kg and £152, average 390p/kg.
Mediums to 413p/kg and £188, average 398.0p/kg.
Heavies to 415p/kg and £197, average 403.2p/kg.
Underfinished lambs to 374p/kg and £142.
Hoggs
Mediums to 240p/kg and £108, average 240p/kg.
Heavies to 223.1p/kg and £116, average 223.1p/kg.
Clean Sheep to 246p/kg and £118, average 245.4p/kg.
Cull Sheep to £140, average £122.80.
CATTLE
Just a handful of calves this week from W E Foreman & Son, Brigham but a tremendous trade once again in that little ring, topping at £800 for a Blue Bull and averaging over £675 all in, with nothing over 2 and a half months old.

British Blue Bulls to £800, average £760.
British Blue Heifers to £650, average £597.
