Borderway Prime Sheep Sale

PRIME SHEEP:

On Monday 12^th May H&H held their weekly sale of prime and cast sheep with another mammoth entry of over 5300 sheep forward from all parts of the UK. Over 1100 ewes sold this week and peaked at £320 for a fabulous pair of Texel ewes from local producers Mrs Thomson, Townfoot, Penrith. An overall sale average of £160 was achieved with all classes seen to be notably sharper on the week and indeed on other outlets. 210 Spring Lambs were forward this week with lightweight and best export types exceptionally good to place. However, leading the sale and top averages belong to a marvelous consignment of heavy lambs from Messrs Trafford, Bassenthwaite Hall Farm, Wigton  who sold 22 lambs to average £203.09 and topped at £218 to Bowland Food Ltd, Preston. 4000 hoggs forward this week with some big players in town. All classes especially the 40 to 44 kg hoggs were far dearer than has been seen of late, in fact all classes definitely saw a rise resulting in Borderway sitting at the top of the averages this week at 310 pence per kilo with an SQQ  325p.  Leading the way at £220 and £5 per kilo with some marvellous Beltex cross hoggs from Colin Little The Guards, Wigton, purchased by Bowland Foods Ltd. Trade does not just extend to the fancy sheep in Carlisle, indeed all classes sell beyond any other market. This includes hill hoggs where we saw over 1500 hill type sheep forward with black face hoggs 41 kg achieving £140 from Mrs Fisher Smalmstown, Longtown or 341p, who also sold Cheviots to 351p.
