Sheep Primestock Report
Lawrie and Symington Ltd sold 3596 Hoggs and 1394 Cast Ewes through Lanark.
Hoggs
A larger show of 3,596 hoggs were forward, with a terrific show of quality which bucked the end of last week’s trend. All classes were much dearer than anticipated. Export and lightweight hoggs were still best sold, but heavy hoggs were also sharper than expected.
The sale topped at £182 for Texels from Struthers, Collielaw Farm and to 381p/kg for Beltex from Steel, Cumberhead Farm.
