J36 Crooklands Livestock Auction: J36 Weekly Sale of Spring Lambs & Cast Ewes, Tuesday 15th July 2025

PRIME LAMBS

Lamb trade continues to flourish.
Stand on from last week with the demand for lambs extremely strong, and a lack of numbers and well finished sheep to suit buyers’ appetites. A slightly more mixy show forward today saw smashing returns for well fleshed lambs seeing the whole sale finish with an overall average of 360p/kg.
Topping the trade today in the pence per kilo section was Harry Geldard with a tremendous pair of Texels making £222. Hampshires sold to £213 from IL Dixon and Suffolks hit £196 for a pair from M&RW Stirzaker. KA Purtill fetched his usual run of quality lambs reaching 402.6p/kg for a pair of Texels. A pen of ten Texels this time at 40kg hit 394.5p/kg from DJ Clarke. 42kg lambs from W Garnett & Son sold to 395.2p/kg, while JA&R Geldard & Son sold a run of 43 kg Lleyns for 388.4p/kg or £167 for a lot of 42 in the ring at once.
