93
Suttolk crosses sold in flock ages. they made
from 288 to £112. Lleyn cross and Texel cross
eWes — 3 years and older in good order sold
from £80 to £102. The run of Texel and white
faced Mules to lamb from 1 st March saw
toothed ewes from £75 to 292. Older sorts
from £43 to £61. 4 drafts of ewes sold as carry-
ing triplets sold to £104 on several occasions
for dark and light faced with others from £80 to
€100. Ewes lacking condition were always
hardest to sell with older hill ewes from £35 to
£48.
The entry of 83 in—lamb hoggs included some
strong smart Texel cross which sold to 2120
with others at £11 17. Sharp headed Welsh
Mules sold at £116. Others were much smaller
and sold from 265 to £78. A marvellous clear—
ance considering the extreme cold conditions
on the day.
Store hoggs - 3338: Another super entry of
hoggs met a fair trade throughout. Still several
men keen for hoggs with both a good crowd of
local and distant purchasers. Again hoggs with
meat and strength in keenest demand, howev-
er the smaller lambs would also be slightly
dearer on the week as we finally have two dry
days togetherll The best topped at £77.80 with
all strength from £65 to £75.20. Several from
£70 to £74.50, however these need strength
and meat. Good farming hoggs from £60 to
£64.50. Medium keep sorts from £54 to £60
with condition of hoggs becoming more critical
as the season goes on. Good headed longer
keep sorts from £47 to £53.50. Harder bred
and hill types from £38 to 245. very small
backward and plain sorts from £32 to £37.50.
Native sorts including Shetlands and
Herdwicks from £24 to £30.
Ram hoggs met a fast trade throughout with
strong sorts to £72. Other bunches of strength
from £62 to £68. Smaller sorts from £52 to
£60. Hill bred hoggs from £40 to £52 depend—
ing on size and condition. Plain hoggs less
money and from £35 to £45 depending on
frame. A pen of pure Texel ewe hoggs sold to
£88.50. However all ewe hoggs have been
sold at feeding money.
Rearing/weaned calves - 12: All rearing calves
this week with a British Blue cross bull selling
to £360 and a Limousin cross out of Friesian to
2350. Other continental cross bull calves were
smaller selling at £240 and £260. 3 Beef
Shorthom cross bull calves sold from £150 to
£160. A small Hereford cross heifer calf sold at
£100. A Friesian bull at £50. Early entries for
next week to include 12 weaned Hereford
cross Friesian steers and heifers 7/9 months
from one farm.
Cull ewes - 1151 : A reduced entry, but not sur-
prising considering the trade. However it was
better than we expected with the best ewes up
to £132.50 and another pen close behind at
£123.50/head. Fat is a difficult commodity to
sell especially compared to the leaner types.
The plain hill bred types are still a good trade
and don't seem to have had the hit as the
stronger types. The rams were a varying trade
and very much depended on meat and frame
topping at £100/head. At Hereford we have
plenty of buyers ensuring plenty of competition
throughout.
Average E/head - £59.64/head, Continental
£132.50, Suffolks £91.00, North Country Mules
£71.00. Welsh Mules £67.00. Speckles 259.00.
Welsh £56.50. Cull Rams £100.00. Cull
Wethers £88.00.
Kington Market, January 21
McCARTNEY'S of Kington report better
entry of 1402 sheep on January 21. We
had an excellent trade again in all weight
ranges which again would be one of the
best for the week.
Less hoggets marketed during the week
has helped the trade to firm coupled with
a better Euro exchange which has cre-
ated better demand from export buyers.
Hoggets: We had a better entry of 1300
hoggets which sold to an excellent trade
with all weights in excellent demand by
the buyers. The heavy hoggets over 50kg
were a particularly good trade which
sold up to £98 per head. ,
The hoggets were in demand from the
export and home trade buyers. if you
have hoggets ready to sell take advan—
tage of the current trade and demand.
The hoggets averaged an excellent
£1.85ppk and sold up to £1.98ppk.
All the hoggets averaged an excellent
£82 per head up to £98 per head for
some 54kg hoggets from SI Rogers.
Hoggets between 32.5kg and 39kg aver-
aged 1.86ppk up to 1.88ppk.
eraged 1.85ppk up to 1.97ppk.
aged 1.82ppk up to 1.85ppk.
Hoggets over 52kg averaged 1.80ppk up
to 1.82ppk.
We are fortunate to have excellent buyer
support from six buyers giving excellent
competition for the hoggets.
Cull ewes. tups. wethers, store lambs:
There was a smaller entry of 102 cull
and store sheep. Less numbers of cull
sheep have been marketed through out
the week which has allowed buyers to
use up stock numbers, this has assisted
in creating better demand and a price lift
towards the end of this week.
The cull trade was much firmer this week
with excellent competition from the buy-
ers on all sorts.
The ewes at Kington would be clearer
than most other centres this week.
The buyers are requiring meated ewes
but not fat for their orders.
Tups are still an excellent trade and have
strong demand and sold up to £116 per
head from Si Rogers.
The ewes sold to a top of £90.50 and av—
eraged an excellent £73 per head which
included smaller and thin hill ewes.
The cull tups sold up to £116 per head
and averaged £101 per head.
Hoggets between 39.5kg and 45.5kg av— Small store hoggets also sold to a strong We have buyers for in excess of 300 ’
trade and up to £66 and averaged E54 hoggets and 750 cull sheep per weer c
Hoggets between 46kg and 52kg aver— per head.
