Cast Ewes
Another excellent show of 2269 cast ewe, rams and hoggets (inc 600 consigned from Shetland & Orkney) saw the best ewes remain very dear with heavier fatter ewes also sharper on week. Blackface ewes remain a good trade apart from the leanest end as more plain ewes come forward. The hoggs and the Shetland sheep met extreme rates.
Sale topped at £167 for Texels from Andrew Neilson, East Brackenridge and to £81 for Blackface from Rennie, Clatto.
