Went to St Boswells today to cash the empty ewes. Caught about 45 minutes of them selling the prime hoggs. The run I saw would have averaged under £1.50/kg. Four main buyers in attendance. Interesting to read the mart report having been on the spot.
Only saw a few ewes sold before mine went through. Easycares at £49 and £41. Also got shot of a mental Hampshire tup for £67. Reasonably satisfied. Felt that being there in person made a difference, in contrast to the kicking I got last time when I just dropped them off.
Yes i sold my easy care barrens last week avereaged 47 top was 58 and worst was 33. Thats was melton last week.
