Report on trade: With 55,000 store lambs already sold to date the numbers now coming forward are beginning to tighten and reduced numbers are likely in the forthcoming sales before end of year.

Strong stores sold readily on excess of £80 and topped at £87 for smart Beltex cross from A Town. With medium sorts around £75 and only small longer-term sorts below £70. If you have stores to sell, please entry now for the next sale on Friday 6th November.
