Lamb trade back a bit I would say, £70 would buy you a lot better quality lamb than last week but still look dear for what they are, nice bred lambs 30kg an above £80 an onwards depending on weight! Older ewes still a good trade, Suffolk cross an texel cross full mouth £150-160!! Yearlings not so dear as they’ve been but nor was the quality top drawer either so…..!! Back on the lambs an the smaller lambs look serious to me, a dog of a thing with balls an horns at £65 makes the better end at £80 look cheap on the day

I’ve been reminding every ram buyer this year that the old saying is 10 fat lambs to a tup…… but not met with success yet.

I’m comfortable giving 7/8 lambs too the tup. But they die too quick for varying reasons!I’ve been reminding every ram buyer this year that the old saying is 10 fat lambs to a tup…… but not met with success yet.

Maybe is the fact the trade has been talked up then folk don’t go or when they do they get defensive and don’t bid on?
Maybe it’s the fat lambs falling?
