What did you think of the trade?

Just watching online for a while and never saw the bulls but I would have thought they were up on the week but bad to tell the size on a screen.

 

[Top Tip.]

It’s skews the average a bit savagely. Very very good entry of sheep there every week. Vivers buy a lot in there. If you’ve got just nice average commercial lambs it’s nowt special.

A friend of mine sells his Swales at Kirkby,he says that none of the Scottish marts can touch the trade he gets down there.

No good for my sort of lambs.
The trouble is that all the top quality lambs make the good middle type lambs look poor.

There must be alot of beltex x lmb at Kirkby Stephen, some average.

In the report it says there were 1003 Beltex X lambs (out of 3128 hoggs) and that they averaged 340p/kg.

That explains it, he does make a real job of them.

Feel like it and feed like it Outclassed.....i suppose the answer is to get some beltex!

Done a fantastic job though has the auctioneer getting the place on the map, cattle and sheep coming from all over the british isles to be sold there now!

 

[Greythundercloudys]

They must have a good sheep man in the box. That big tup man, slater takes all his there. No wonder, its a wonder that downie from Aberdeen doesn't take a float load.
