HOGGS

Hoggs Hold Firm

Strong demand for the right types today saw trade remain very good overall. Buyers once again very keen on the lighter end of hoggs. Late 30s and early 40 kilos proved particularly well sold and are very much the sweet spot for the current trade. While some weights and specifications were a shade easier on the week, this was also influenced by a strong showing of hill-bred and horned sheep. That said well finished hoggs were eagerly bid for from start to finish. Texels sold for a pen of 5 to 383ppkg from Messrs JD Dixon. Beltex to 377.8 from PW&D Swindlehurst. Blackfaced hoggs and Cheviot hoggs sold to 330ppkg from Messrs Williamson and Messrs S Crawford respectively. An overall average of 320ppkg was achieved today and an SQQ of 330ppkg. Numbers increase again here at our weekly sale at J36. Com and see us next week for an all round competitive professional and prompt service. Contact Joel McGarva on 07920009097 for further enquires.
