1 TEL: (01432) PRIME LAMBS MARKET REPORTS WEDNESDAY 26th September 2018 Auctioneer - Richard Hyde A larger entry met an improved trade with SQQ of 175.4p, 2.5p above last week with every sheep sold averaging Heavies to 95, best export 208.1p with all good export sheep 175p+. Euro at 89p is exactly the same as last week. This is the highest trade for this time of the year in the last seven years and it may well be that the lambs killed in the March and April storms will be missed in terms of numbers available which could keep the trade up needed every week.

4 BREEDING EWES Auctioneer - Robert Meadmore/Greg Christopher A much more difficult day generally, with not as good a show of sheep and possibly too many forward. However several high spots throughout the day with a section of pedigree Texel yearling ewes making up to 210 and again at 200 and 172. In the commercial Texel yearling section a super pen made 144 and again at 137 and then in the 120 s, a nice pen of 2 year olds to 140, plenty of decent pens of Texel yearlings between 100 to 120. The best of the Suffolk yearlings to 138 and again some in the 110 s to 120 s. Good enquiry for flock age Suffolks with 2 year olds to 128, again at 116 and full mouth to 85. An abundance of Welsh Mule yearlings on offer, generally from 90 to 115. Two year old Mules to 113, others in the 90 s.

5 CULL EWES Auctioneer - Matthew Nicholls A strong entry once again with a trade certainly sharper than last week. Whilst the average is less than last week this is by no means any reflection of the trade. Very few best ewes about, a large entry of smaller plainer ewes forward but even those were sharper than last week. Best ewes to 115/head. Rams to 126/head. Several grazing jobs on the go putting a bottom in the trade. Numbers coming forward around the Country are steadying which is helping firming the trade.
