Prime Sheep: On Monday 11th Dec 2023 H&H held their weekly sale of 3371 prime lambs and 620 cast ewes and rams. There was certainly no hangover after last week’s Christmas party in the sheep ring with vendors once again turning out in force and delivering a fantastic show of sheep for our large company of buyers to get their order books well in action.  We thank each and every one of you again for your tremendous support. The trade certainly did its best to spread some Christmas cheer with an overall average of 283p and SQQ of 291p for a show of lambs which saw several large runs of heavy lambs forward which resulted in a price per head average of £127.42. Top of the pops today was Tom Neill, Upper Tinwald who sold a great run of lambs to £182 which were purchased by Bowland Foods. Top per kilo honors came from M/s Scott, Thirlwall Castle Farm who sold lambs to 400p per kilo also bought by Bowland Foods. The highlights are too numerous to mention so take a look at the prices achieved.
