Exeter today.
Worst trade for many many years for orphan lambs, most went home as they couldn't get a bid but a few sold to average £4.05..
Store cattle, a very mixed entry when forward sorts would be easier on the week but small stirk type animals were a mental trade! some very poor 20 to 33 month old cattle that were like a hat rack and very small for their size sold to a hell of a trade with some making nearly £900/ head, these cattle would be about 24 months old and 350 kilos liveweight..
Stirks again were much stronger on the week.

A glimmer of hope...did you see any 55-60 kilo ones?

If they were smart shapey things which I'm sure yours are then they'd stand a chance of making £90 anything over 45kg though in reality wasn't making much more until you got to about 52kg

Hogs were nothing flash at Carlisle. I averaged £71.80. Four good Beltex out of mules at 41.5kg only made £77, pen of twelve 41kg plainer sorts but no scrags made £68.8
Then watched ewes and lambs sold and nice outfits, singles and twins made into the mid sixties.
