But when are you weighing them? Are they being weighed straight off the field or stood dry for 12+ hours? You can take 3-5kg off in that time, after that they don’t lose anything for a few days

That’s your problem then, transport wobbles their stomachs and accelerates the $hitting out process. They $hit out the most in the first 2 hours, after that they slow down how much they $hit out.They are weighed straight off the field, then 1ish hour to the market scales
Our local market is on a Monday we always try and sort on the Thursday or Friday before and try and put the lambs back on the field they came from its very rare that I'm disappointed with the weights thenThat’s your problem then, transport wobbles their stomachs and accelerates the $hitting out process. They $hit out the most in the first 2 hours, after that they slow down how much they $hit out.
I’ve read on here a fair bit that people don’t believe market scales, be lucky your market has scales as some don’t, the vital mistake most people make with lambs hoggetts and older sheep is not bringing them in the night before for them to $hit out and then weigh them after they’ve been in 12 hours, I bet the market scales will be extremely close to your scales.

A tremendous day to be a vendor with one of the dearest January store hoggett trades in memory.
An excellent yard of hoggs with quality exceptional for January. Men travelling from all parts of
the country with a very strong Welsh contingent, the south west and throughout the Midlands and
locality, 6000-7000 could have been sold with no effect on price with several men going home
empty or half full.
Weather and the keep situation playing a huge roll in this trade. Hoggs to £90 for a strong bunch
of Texel cross hoggs, exceptional Welsh ram hoggs to £90!!! Plenty of sheep sold from £80 to
£87 with over 600 trading over £80.
A super run of shapely Texel cross hoggs from G D Jones, Portway to £84.50, £83.20, £83 and
£79. A strong bunch of Suffolk cross wethers to £85 for a very deserving cause. Suffolk cross
ram hoggs to £85. Farming hoggs very animated throughout and trading £72 to £80 throughout
the sale, no end of well bred Texel cross hoggs £75 to £80 with trade remaining exceptional
throughout.
Medium keeping hoggs very sharp and seeing these £5-£8 dearer than pre Christmas trade, well bred bunches £66 to £70, harder bred stronger sorts £60 to £65. Longer keeping hoggs the same story with the better bred sorts to £64 depending on potential, harder bred sorts £52 to £58, with
plainer sorts £40 to £50 and very small hill type hoggs in the £30's
.
Ram hoggs as dear as the clean hoggs, to £90 twice for Texel cross and Welsh, other strong Mules
to £87, a good bunch of Texel cross sorts to £85.20, all strength £74 to £80. Farming sorts all £64
to £72 to include a bunch of 66 Welsh ram hoggs to £70.20. Competition for the ram hoggs
excellent throughout with smaller sorts £50 to £60, very little all day less than £50. An
exceptional day's trading with 6000 plus hoggs needed for next week, please take advantage of
this trade
