PRIME LAMBS

There was a nice increase in numbers this week, with in excess of 1,000 prime lambs forward. Trade was sharper than the previous week, although not as strong as many had hoped, with trade finishing strongly at the end of last week but the week starting on a more subdued note on Monday. Our overall market average was 315p/kg, a few pence dearer than the previous week, which included a nice run of Mules forward at Hawes.

The heavy-weighted, well-fleshed lambs continue to add up best. Leading the way was the consignment from DA & MA Brown & Son, Leyburn, who sold Suffolk lambs to £216 at 65kg. The weekly consignment from JR & LA Capstick, Killington, once again met eager bidders, selling to £198, £194, £191 and £190. This was followed by heavy-weighted Continental lambs from HT & BJ Thornton Berry, Swinithwaite, selling to £190. Plenty of the well-finished, heavy-weighted lambs sold in the region of £170 to £180.

The best-conformation lambs continue to sell towards 400p/kg, topping at 395p/kg for 45kg Beltex lambs from R Mudd & Sons, Cubeck, grossing £177, purchased by Martin Hare, Lane End Farm shop. This was followed by JR & LA Capstick, Killington, selling pens of Beltex and Texel lambs to 388p/kg and 390p/kg. There was plenty of commercial, well-finished lambs selling over the 330p/kg mark.

It was nice to once again have a good entry of Mule lambs forward, which looked very well sold at Hawes, with all Mules forward selling to an overall market average of 305p/kg. The best Mule lambs sold between 315p/kg and 318p/kg. Heavy-weighted Mules peaked at £155 from LC Scarr & Son, Bainbridge, with 50kg Mules from JC & N Throup, Skipton, selling to £152. There was plenty of late-forty-kilo lambs selling in the £140s.

Heavy-weighted horned lambs topped at £168 for Dalesbreds from LC Scarr & Son. Best-meated Swaledale lambs sold to 300p/kg, or £138 at 46kg, from DJ Amsden, Hawes.

There was an increased number of buyers forward at Hawes today, with continued support from our local butchers, including Hammonds Butchers, Bainbridge, and Martin & Sally Hare of Lane End Farm Shop.

We are looking forward to Tuesday 18th August at Hawes Auction, with our weekly sale of prime lambs and cast sheep, which will also include the sale of 115 Pedigree Dutch Spotted rams and females at 3pm, followed at 5pm by the Annual Show & Sale of 906 Mule and Continental Breeding Ewes and Gimmer Shearlings.

CAST EWES 

A good big show of cast ewes and rams with just over 500 forward, with the full range of ewes covered from the well fleshed continental to the leanest of horned ewes. All were keenly bid for and it was definitely advantageous having plenty of clipped ewes for grazing buyers to bid for. Some very smart Charollais x ewes from T Pounder topped the trade at £230 & £214. Suffolks were headed by DA & MA Brown at £212 and MW & HE Pedley at £196. Texels would not have had as much power as some weeks and sold to £210 for J Scarr & Son with DA & MA Brown at £202. PF Goodall had a shapely Beltex achieve £200. BFL topped at £182 for D Stephenson & £180 for SH TA & M Sutcliffe. Not many Mules forward and topped again by DA & MA Brown at £178 & £169. Most of the sale were Swale ewes with 375 forward. We had some cracking ewes at the top of this section with DJ Amsden at £159, SK Wilson at £151, £140 for MR Ewbank, & £138 for D Stephenson. But clipped ewes with half meat would be between £75-£90, with the leanest at £40-£65.

 

Only 7 rams forward topping at £236 for JH Pedley, followed at £228 for a Texel from Dixon Bros, with Swales topping at £148 for JL & JA Sunter
