J36 Crooklands Livestock Auction: J36 Weekly Sale of Prime Lambs, Prime Hoggs & Cast Ewes, Tuesday 30th June 2026.

On Tuesday the 30th of June North West Auctions held its weekly sale of prime lambs, hoggs and cast sheep.

A healthy ringside of buyers from start to finish saw a reduced entry from last week forward across all sections. The heavier, well fed end of lambs once again the best types to sell on the day, with a huge shortage of that article on show. Texels topped at £229 from Messrs E Dodgson. A pen of 8 from Messrs WS Burrow Ltd hit £228 and a trio of Continental from Messrs RJ Stott made £225. Texels sold to 448p/kg from WS Burrow Ltd and to 447.1p/kg from the same home.

A nice pair hit 446p/kg from Messrs RHM & S Boyren and 437.5p/kg from Messrs E Dodgson. Lighter lambs hit 436.8p/kg for single Beltex from Messrs D & DW Prickett. An overall average of 390p/kg was achieved all in.

Demand continues to be strongest for the bigger end, however all types are a lump dearer than this time last year. Cull ewes topped at £240 twice for a Dutch Spotted from Messrs DA Dixon and a Texel from Messrs RF Morphet.

Other Texels sold to £232 from Messrs F Blenkharn and £230 from MD & GE Shuttleworth. Mule ewes hit £188 from Messrs JM & NJ Strickland.

More ewes required next week as demand grows. See you next week at J36 where competitive trade and prompt payment is guaranteed.
