All were sold bar one pen with a superb trade and host of buyers in attendance. All sorts were keenly sought after and we require another good entry for this next sale. The buyers will come to Knighton so why travel your lambs 30 miles. Save time and mileage and support your local market. Cattle were a steadier trade with best sorts still selling well but plainer sorts were more difficult. However all were sold except for one heifer. On Thursday we had a trade on the lambs which was the curates egg. Handy weight meated lambs sold to a top of 190 pence and the overall average was just under 175.0 pence per kilo. 85 was the top price for heavy lambs. Cull sheep sold to a top of 115.50 with an average of 56.80 for the 259 ewes forward. Weighing and penning of sheep every Thursday from 7.30AM. Our prestigious annual Christmas Fatstock Show & Sale is on Thursday December 6 th 2018. A flyer is enclosed with full details. Yours faithfully G R Owens For and on behalf of McCartneys LLP
