The trade for heavyweight lambs remains similar, peaking at £177 for heavy Texels from J S & S Atkinson, Scorton, followed by £174 from Taylor Bros, Richmond.

The Mule trade remains similar, twice topping at £155 from W M & J E Shuttleworth, Barbon, and J Garth & Son, Keasden, with plenty of pens of heavyweight lambs selling in the region of £150. Handy-weighted, well-fleshed Mule lambs continue to sell around 300p/kg.

Buyers are still on the lookout for all shapes and sizes of lambs, so please don’t hesitate to bring yours forward—there’s room in the market for every pen.

The Mule lamb trade shone brightly too, topping at £125 from T & G Farrow, Richmond, with many more pens of strong lambs comfortably achieving prices in the early £120s. All mules forward averaged £109.55.

There was a wonderful festive show of lambs forward for the annual Christmas Show and Sale of Prime Lambs at Hawes Auction, with the mart filled with plenty of Christmas spirit and quality stock. Warm thanks go to Hammonds Butchers and Topham Meats for kindly sponsoring our seasonal show, and a special festive thank-you to judge Nathan Brown of Lancaster for his time, expertise, and good cheer throughout the morning.

The Gregg Family of Angram Livestock, Masham, kept hold of their Christmas crown, once again lifting the championship with an outstanding pair of Beltex lambs. This much-admired duo, sired by a Beltex ram purchased from Hawes Hunks, weighed 57kg and dazzled their way to £310, or 544p/kg, purchased by the Khan family. The Greggs enjoyed a day of yuletide success, also taking second place with another smart pair of Beltex lambs, selling for £220, or 440p/kg, at 50kg.

The Reserve Champion rosette brought further sparkle to the ring, awarded to the first-prize pair of Texel lambs from Luke Bell Percy, Masham. Weighing 50kg, they sold for a festive £250 to the Khan family. Also breaking the £200 barrier were the second-place Texels from D. Hodgson, Askrigg, achieving £218, followed by £200 for 53kg Texels from JR & LA Capstick, Killington. Just shy of £200 were the 47kg Beltex lambs from Laurie Blades, Hawes, selling to £198, with plenty more lambs ringing in strong Christmas-week prices in the £180s and £190s.

Hawes Auction once again lived up to its reputation for showcasing excellent Mule lambs. Double-figure entries of Mule pens came forward, with the first-place rosette going to AC & K Pye and Son, Abbeystead, selling 52kg lambs to £150. The champion pen of horned lambs brought more festive colour to the day, with the award going to the first-prize Swaledales from JS & D Cloughton & Son, Bainbridge, selling 45kg lambs for £135.

As for trade, continental export lambs enjoyed a slightly sharper seasonal lift, while heavy lambs—reflecting the national trend—were a touch easier. Handy-weight Mule lambs remained similar, with heavier types again a shade easier. Well-fleshed horned lambs were met with good demand. The overall market average finished at 291p/kg.

CAST EWES     

Trade would be up in most sections with the biggest jump with the leanest Ewes. Topping the trade with two very smart Suffolk Ewes was SR & EJ Crossland & Boby at £232 and £230, Texels from R Marwood & Son headed that section at £200 and £198 with Coverhead at £182. BFL topped with WC Porter & Son at £198 and £170 and followed by R & J Myers at £168. Cheviot Ewes were topped by Sledmere Estate at £152 and £145 with A Hollings at £130. Mules were headed again by Taylor Bros followed by TW Clark at £144. Swales were topped at £134 by G Barraclough with a big pair of Ewes from JA Alderson at 3130. Medium Swales would be £70-£90 with the leaner sorts £50-£70.
