PRIME HOGGS

A stronger show of prime hoggs was forward this week, and the increased numbers were well rewarded with a firmer trade throughout. A total of 1,676 hoggs averaged 307p/kg, despite a large proportion being upland and horned types—an excellent result for February and a clear sign of strength in the current demand.

Heavyweights were very much the highlight, with buyer’s keen for quality and willing to pay for it. Leading the trade were Beltex hoggs from C & M Hugill, Hawes, selling to £180, followed closely by their heavy Leicester hoggs at £170. WA Dinsdale & Son, Grinton, sold a strong pen of heavy Beltex hoggs to £169, while Fleets Farm, East Witton, presented a well finished run with heavy Suffolks to £165 and Texels to £163. JR & LA Capstick, Killington, sold 48kg Texels to £163, with other pens at £162, and plenty more heavy hoggs comfortably selling towards £160.

Handy-weight Continentals with good conformation sold particularly well, with the best exceeding 400p/kg, topping at 414p/kg for Beltex from R Mudd & Sons, Cubeck. Commercial handy weights regularly achieved 330–350p/kg, ensuring a strong return for all vendors.

Mule hoggs also enjoyed a straight, firm trade. Heavy mules peaked at £156 from JW Porter & Sons, Gunnerside, followed by £155 from JS & S Atkinson, Scorton, with numerous pens around the £150 mark. Handy-weight mules sold between 315–328p/kg, giving an overall mule average of 310p/kg.

A good entry of horned hoggs once again met a sharper trade. Heavy Swaledales reached £151 for JW Porter & Sons, Gunnerside, and £150 from T Dent & Sons, who also sold an impressive pen of 25 Swales at 47kg for £144.50. Plenty of heavy Swaledales sold over £140. Heavy Dalesbreds topped at £144 from DC Miller, Claughton-on-Brock.

Next Tuesday, 10th February, will feature the Annual Swaledale Show of pens of five Swaledale prime hoggs, with show hoggs to be penned by 9am. Following the prime hogg and cast sheep sale will be the sale of in-lamb breeding sheep, including the annual consignment of Swaledale ewes in lamb to the Leicester tup from Jack Hallam, Whitby. With trade holding strong across all classes, vendors are encouraged to support next week’s busy fixtures, which promise another excellent day’s trading.

PRIME HOGGS

Despite challenging weather conditions, it proved to be a very good trade at Hawes. While the storm deterred a few vendors, those who braved the wild weather were well rewarded with a strong and competitive market, particularly for handy-weighted continentals, with horned hoggs also very much in demand. It was pleasing to see several returning faces around the ringside, enjoying the trade and leaving Hawes well satisfied.

Handy-weighted commercial continental hoggs regularly sold between 330p/kg and 360p/kg, with better-conformation sorts exceeding these levels and topping at an impressive 395p/kg for Beltex hoggs from BC Gregg, Masham.

Heavy-weighted hoggs sold to a top of £167 for Texels from JR & LA Capstick, Killington, with further consignments from the same home achieving £162 and £161. Heavy-weighted Beltex hoggs peaked at £165 from R Mudd & Sons, Cubeck, with others from the same home reaching £160. Plenty of heavy hoggs sold well into the £150s.

Mule numbers are beginning to tighten, with heavy-weighted Mules peaking at £159 from JA Alderson, Barras, followed by £156 from J Nelson & Son, Clapham, and numerous pens selling in the £140s. Handy-weighted Mules sold readily in excess of 300p/kg, topping at 326p/kg from JA Alderson, Barras.

Horned hoggs are now starting to come forward to Hawes in stronger numbers and met an eager ringside, resulting in a very strong trade. Scotch Blackface hoggs topped at £148 from P Turnbull, Whitby. Heavy-weighted Swaledale tup hoggs sold to £146 from MR & LE Rukin, Keld, with a pen of 31 Swaledale tup hoggs averaging 50kg making £138.50 from J Nelson & Son, Clapham. Heavy-weighted Dalesbred tup hoggs peaked at £140 from ME Bainbridge, Richmond, who also sold Swaledales to £139. Handy-weighted horned hoggs, particularly those inside-fed, were keenly bid for, with wethers between 36kg and 40kg selling well over 300p/kg and topping at 326p/kg from DW & K Hutchinson, Hawes.

The overall market returned an improved average of 296p/kg, with a strong SQQ of 306p/kg. More hoggs are required weekly at Hawes, and vendors are encouraged to take advantage of the current demand.

Like bees around a honey pot, buyers swarmed to Hawes from throughout the land to enjoy the buzz and witness the sweet trade at the Hawes Honeys sale, where prices proved well worth the wait.

The sale opened in fine style with a Pedigree Suffolk Gimmer Hogg from G I Richmond of the Sullom flock. Plenty of early interest created a healthy hum around the ring, with the gimmer hogg eventually selling for £500.

The Show & Sale of Herdwicks continues to go from strength to strength, attracting a growing hive of buyers and sellers alike. An increased entry this year was met with a strong and steady trade throughout. Thanks go to pre-sale judge Mr Shaun Hodgson of Ravenstonedale for his careful appraisal. The Championship rosette was awarded to a much-admired Herdwick ewe from Jessica Harrison of Holmrook. This standout lot certainly caught the eye, drawing eager bidding before selling for the top price of the day at £2,200.

The Reserve Champion was awarded to A D Harrison for a Gimmer Shearling, which went on to sell for £480, with the second prize from the same home making £450. Sweeping the deck from first to third in the Gimmer Hoggs were Geoff & Carol Marwood of Newsham. Their first prize gimmer hogg, sired by the Harryman tup, proved the pick of the crop and sold sweetly for £500. Herdwick ewes averaged a strong £485, Gimmer Shearlings £460 and Gimmer Hoggs £410.

The Show & Sale of Swaledale females generated a real buzz, with plenty of buyers keen to secure quality sheep. Thanks go to judge Mr Shaun Thompson of Marton Sinnington for lending his expertise to a very competitive section. The Championship rosette was awarded to a stylish Gimmer Shearling from Robbie Hallam of Horton in Ribblesdale. This much-admired shearling, sired by the £105,000 Ghyll House tup and in lamb to a homebred sire, attracted keen interest before selling for £2,000. A successful day for the Hallam family continued with their ewe selling for £1,500.

Reserve Champion honours — and the top price of the section — went to a two-shear ewe from R S Harker & Son of Grayrigg Hall. Sired by the renowned Bull & Cave Icon and in lamb to the Hebblethwaite Hall tup, she caused quite a stir in the ring before eventually settling at £3,100. Other leading prices included £1,900 for the third prize Gimmer Shearling from D W & K Hutchinson of Hawes, sired by the Trevor Blades tup and in lamb to a Murton Hall tup. The consignment from J R & S L Pratt twice hit the sweet spot, topping at £1,000 for both a Gimmer Shearling and a ewe. Gimmer Shearlings averaged £1,280, while ewes averaged £1,358.

A truly honey-rich line-up of Bluefaced Leicesters was forward, with credit due to vendors for presenting sheep of the highest calibre. Thanks go to judges Ridley and Lewis Brown for their work with such a strong entry. The Championship rosette was awarded to the Wight family of Midlock Farms with substitute lot T152 — the pick of their Gimmer Shearlings this year. Sired by Shitlington R6, she created a real buzz in the ring before selling for £8,000. Other notable prices from the Midlock flock included £3,200 for T96, a Gimmer Shearling carrying twins to M1 Riddings, along with further Shearlings selling for £2,500 and £2,200.

The Reserve Champion rosette went to the first prize Gimmer Hogg from J Bell of the Cottage flock. V49, sired by T2 Drummuck, went on to sell for £5,000. The honey pot moment of the day came when a new society record was smashed by the Lord family of the renowned Hewgill flock, as their lead hogg Hewgill V40 soared to £22,000. This outstanding hogg was sired by the homebred R38. A sweet return for the Lord family also saw their second hogg, Hewgill V38, sired by T23 Hewgill, sell for £10,000. One of the best hoggs offered from the Gragareth flock of W & D Lawson & Son sold for £6,200, with V30 sired by T16 Midlock.

Other leading prices for Gimmer Hoggs included £3,000 for the pen leader from M Allan of Appleby, selling V68 Greenhow, sired by M1 Smearsett. A particularly rewarding day for M Thornborrow of Easter Dawyck saw their Gimmer Shearlings peak at £3,500 for the third prize T62, sired by S18 Dawyck Bullseye and carrying twins to T3 Skelgate. Other Shearlings sold to £3,000 for T55, by the same sire and carrying twins to T1 Hewgill. The Thornborrow family also topped the aged ewe section with Dawyck R66, a daughter of the £65,000 P1 Riddings and carrying twins to the new stock tup T29 Shitlington.

Bluefaced Leicester Gimmer Hoggs averaged an impressive £2,786, Gimmer Shearlings averaged £2,020 and ewes averaged £1,245 — proving this section was well worth buzzing about.
