Total clearance effect- ed. Store lambs — 4570: Another huge entry of lambs met a large crowd of purchasers with lambs slightiy less money on the week. however still look very well sold considering the current prime trade and ground con— ditions. Lambs also starting to show some effects of the weather and con- dition of lambs seeing a premium over plainer types. Strong stores to £74.20, all strength and meat from £65 to £73.20. Good taming larnbs from £58 to £64.50 with plenty of bunches from £61863. Medium term lambs from £54 to £57.50.

Long keep sorts in good demand throughout with well bred sorts from £50 to £53.80. Harder bred and smaller types gen- erally from £45 to £50. Very small, plain and backward types from £37 to £44.50, with only some very back— ward types £25 to £35.

Good entries required for the next two weeks. Cull ewes - 2259: A pleasing entry of ewes with a very large entry of Speckle and Welsh ewes which resulted in a lower market average than last week. The best continental ewes up to £124/head. The trade would be slightly easier on the day but this week has seen vast numbers forward around the county. Those leaner types still dearer than the fat. Rams would be a slightly better trade topping at £119/ head and several others in excess of £100mead. We envisage the ewes firming again over the next couple of weeks.

December 14: Finished cattle — 290: A slightly brighter trade on the clean cattle with increased buying support present. Some nice cattie in the entry and these met plenty of competition especially if you consider the prices being paid deadweight. Very big cat- tle were difficult and over age cattle were more difficult as were the non FABBL’d. These have to particularly compete with cheap imports. Prices were as follows - Medium steers: Standard quality to 194.0p average 194.0p Also rans to 122.5p; Overall average 178.1 p. Heavy steers: Best quality to 229.5p average 205.4p; Standard quality to 194.0p average 186.8p; Also rans to 177.0p; Overall average 185.2p. Medium heifers: Best quality to 235.5p average 211.9p: Standard quality to 193.5p average 186.1 p; Also rans to 162.0p; Overall average 1945p Heavy heif- ers: Best quality to 245.0p average 217.6p; Standard quality to 194.0p average 185.8p; Also rans to 176.5p; Overall average 198.6p. The bull entry was dominated by Friesians this week. These met ready competition and prices which would more than compare with deadweight quotations especially if you consider recent grid alterations. Light bulls: To 181.5p average 171 .0p. Medium bulls: To 1930p average 175.9p. Heavy bulls: To 2135p aver- age 183.9p. Barren cows and old bulls — 41: A trade which was very difficult again. Please, please become FABBL’d. This makes a huge difference. Again some very fat cows in the entry and these are worth no more than a plain cow. Everything under pressure. Few well fleshed cows in the entry. Prices were as follows: Grade 1 Cows to 133 p average 109.50p, Grade 2 Cows to 108 p average 96.70p, Grade 3 Cows to 95 p average 93.50p, Grade 4 Cows to 87.50p average 66.92p, Old Bulls to 114.50p average 102 p, Overall average 86.70p. Finished sheep — 2,779: A firm level of demand right the way through. Some nice lambs in the entry and these sold up to 195.5p/kg. Trade was better than many anticipated fol- lowing the drop in prices at the end of last week Prices were as follows — Light Lambs to 142.0p average 140.6p, Standard Lambs to 1950p average 159.9p, Medium Lambs to 186.0p average 162.3p, Heavy Lambs to 195.5p average 156.9p, Overweight Lambs to 165.0p average 152.4p. Export quality lambs sold up to 195.0p per kilo and averaged 177.6p per kilo and home trade lambs sold up to 161.5p per kilo and averaged 158.8p per kilo. Cull Ewes: Excellent entry of cull ewes met a firmer trade on all sorts in particular larger lean ewes. Stronger Continentals selling to £120.50 with an overall average on all ewes of £64.69. Rams to £135 average £72.46.
