Forward for sale on Tuesday were 1067 Prime & Cast Sheep.
A fantastic show of Lambs were forward from all consignors and sold very well despite the drop in price seen last week in mainland markets. Lighter quality lambs held their own, but heavier lambs saw the biggest drop in price.
Prime Lambs averaged 180.1 p/kg (-17.5p on the week), with SQQ Lambs averaging 186.47 (-10.8p on the week). The sale averaged £84.24 per head (- £6.15 on the week).
849 Prime Lambs topped at 211.3 p/kg for a pen of Three Texels scaling 35.5 kilos from A Stanger, Braehead, Stromness realising £75.
