No graders here.
Newark - draw 'em how you like or they will draw 'em/ help you to draw 'em.
Selby - have a good man who likes to draw 'em as how he thinks it will suit their buyers.

Both sold in pens so buyers can handle them if they want - always surprises me how many buyers never touch them.
Can never understand why they don’t handle them. Must be a huge variation in the carcass of a 42kg lean lamb and a 42kg over fat lamb.
Couple of weeks ago i saw three pens of lambs (mule wethers) from the same vendor. Last pen was seriously under finished so thought I might buy them. They made the same price as the first two pens

no different to ram buyers,at auction very few actually handle a ram properly before purchase (and they are trimmed out and prob coloured ) , then they wonder why they melt ,

See Hog numbers are drying up according to eblex,any predictions on where the price may go...gotta bout 100 gooduns left...hoping it will rise a bit

I wouldn't be too sure they are drying up yet tbh........

More to do with the weather and everyone is flat out doing field work before the rain returns on Monday than actual Hogg numbers on the ground.
