An entry of variable quality met a dearer trade yet again - if you can believe it !
Is that fuelled by the further increase in the Beef prices - got to be.

Important notice to Farmers - please get Farm Assured if you can, it makes a real difference.

 

An improved trade reflecting the fat market for everything.
David Coe sold Cows and Calves to £2550, £2050, £2000 and W.Catmur reached £1800

An easier trade generally, caused by the weather, but still very solid right through
Top price went to CW Potter with a Blue at £365 closely followed by Alex Dann at £348 and very closely followed by Cholmondeley Farms with a Simmental at £345

A wet and windy day in Norwich and a few less buyers evident, though prices still remain strong.

PRIME LAMBS (114)
A smaller entry but spirited bidding kept prices in line with other outlets. Today topped at £161 and 311ppkg for Emma Long.

STANDARD LAMBS 280.50 TO 302.60 AV 292.53 £101.00 TO £109.00 AV £108.33
MEDIUM LAMBS 283.70 TO 309.00 AV 293.22 £116.00 TO £136.00 AV £122.22
HEAVY LAMBS 269.50 TO 310.80 AV 287.68 £124.00 TO £147.00 AV £135.55

HOGGS (6)
A few Hoggs to £71.00 av £71.00

Small entry but highlight came from J.E. Spratt and a pen full of of quality meated ewes to £161.00

£1.00 to £161.00 av £85.52

CULL RAMS (7) £28.00 to £80.00 av £78.29

Again more store lambs than fat lambs, this year seems lambs are harder to get fit, and with prices increasing for finished, short term lambs are at a premium

£20.00 to £112.00 av £85.80

A good entry from Peter Websdale who lost some grazing and had to sell 20+ ewes to £145.00
