54 THE HEREFORD TIMES Thursday, January 28, 2016 herefordtimescom Kington Market, January 14 McCARTNEY‘S of Kington report a smaller entry of 1172 sheep on January 14. We had an excellent trade in all weight ranges which would be one of the best for the week. Hogget numbers marketed have been restricted dunng the week due to the wet weather taking its toll on the hoggets with farmers struggling to find hoggets tat enough to sell. Hoggets: We had a smaller entry of 901 hoggets which sold to an excel— lent trade with all weights in excellent demand by the buyers. The hoggets were in demand trom the export and home trade buyers; we could have sold many more hog- gets to a good price on the day. The hoggets averaged an excellent £1.81ppk and sold up to £1.92ppk. All the hoggets averaged a good £79 per head up to £91.80 per head for some 55kg hoggets from SI Rogers.

Hoggets over 52kg averaged 1.63ppk up to 1.68ppk. We are fortunate to have excellent buyer support from 6 buyers giving excellent competition for the hog gets. Cull ewes, tups, wethers, store lambs: There was a good entry of 332 cull and store sheep. The cull trade is generally easier every where this week due to larger numbers being marketed since Christmas. We had a good trade overall in corn- parison to other centres this week. The buyers are requiring meated ewes but not fat for their orders. Best Texel ewes were a good trade selling to £105 per head from AM and RE Griffiths Tups are still an excellent trade and have strong demand and sold up to £106 per head from WD Layton and Sons. The ewes sold to atop of £105 and averaged a £58 per head which included smaller and thin hill ewes. The cull tups sold up to £106 per head and averaged £82 per head. Small store hoggets also sold to a strong trade and up to 254. We have buyers requiring light hog- gets each week to suffice their orders. The cull ewe entry this week was very mixed with a large number of thinner mule ewes and smaller hill ewes. We have buyers for in excess of 3000 hoggets and 750 cull sheep per week to meet our buyers’ requirements.
