1178 HOGGETS, 327 cull ewes: A much better entry of hoggets sold to another excellent trade. All weights in key demand especially those Welsh tagged and Welsh Farm Assured types. The trade we had on these also bought everything else along with it. An SQQ of 195.5p/kg was recorded which considering the reports from the previous day was very encouraging. Two firms wanted hoggets back to kill and all firms present wanted sheep. Hoggs topped at 214p/kg for a pen of 44kg lambs from R.S Eckley and Son, Fforddfawr. Plenty of hoggets 200p/kg plus and more could have been sold to vendors advantage. Meat, meat, meat is key to a good trade, particularly at this time of year.

10 spring lambs: A nice early entry of springers for Easter with a lovely pen of 36.5kg from AH Jones and Son, Glandwr that soared to £110/head, 301p/kg.

327 cull ewes and 9 rams: An excellent entry of cull ewes sold to another flyer with an overall average of £70/head up to £118/head for a pen from T.R Lloyd, Lower Lundy. Rams also flying, averaging a fantastic £110.56/head up to £129.50/head for 2 rams from DJ and KM Probert, Caenant. With this sort of trade week in week out, why go anywhere else?
