Tbf there weren’t masses of strong boned lambs in. It’s properly convinced me I’m right going down the blackie bred mule route. But at this time in the season you’re a bit limited which Marts will actually have a decent amount of lambs too pick from. Circumstances changed at the weekend so we went from very overstocked too edging on understocked. Hence I ended up at Lazonby today. There were very pretty tupping lambs but fine boned well up in the 120’s. Anything with colour and power was £128-150.

Store cattle are definitely dearer the further south you go. Friend of mine turned up in Thirsk yesterday, thought best end leaner type cattle 4-500 kg were about £70-100 a piece less than his weekly martsMarkwt Drayton today on firefat and stores bonkers
Don't forget all the best mules out of swales were at the last sale. Dont know if you noticed the lambs in just before mine, they were out of Rough Fell yows with a touch of Blackie in them, good carcass but a bit woolly

Welshpool was heaving on Monday, with just over 11k sheep sold iirc. My trailer load of culls were in the cattle pens.
Cull ewes averaged £57 iirc, but perhaps a reflection of quality forward? I had £130 for a few lean toothless Charollais ewes, down to £54 for a few small crossbreds that would never put weight on iykwim. Well chuffed with that, and hardly worth trying to feed those types on ime.
Did calves seem a bit easier today?

I’m guessing a lot of Welsh in that to average £57?

I bought some of them…
big bodied sheep, the first pen hadn’t got the RF wool staple, £116. The others had followed the rough a bit too much! Pretty certain the same lad bought the rest at £103-£105. Cheap lambs if you don’t mind the RF wool

Very true, very true. The best breeders will mostly have been at Alston moor. Although having seen some of the tup photos floating about lately, I’m wondering if some of the “best” breeders won’t be best for much longer!
was grand too meet you btw today, put a face too the name so too speak!
