Sheep Primestock Report
Lawrie and Symington Ltd sold 2575 Hoggs, 411 Cast Ewes and 197 Store Sheep through Lanark.
A smaller show of 2575 prime hoggs were a mixed show for quality with a lot more heavy hoggs on offer. Trade was very steady in all classes with a premium only being realized for export weight hoggs which were well fleshed. Heavy’s still very hard to shift.
