J36 Crooklands Livestock Auction: J36 Weekly Sale of Prime Hoggs & Cast Sheep, Tuesday 17th February 2026

PRIME HOGGS

Driving Maul of a Trade

The prime hoggs charged onto the pitch like a front row on a mission, with the ring side busier than a Saturday afternoon at Murrayfield. The best fleshed sorts broke the line and never looked back keeping the score board ticking.

CS Long & RH Knipe sold Texels to 410.5p/kg, while Beltex hit 410.3p/kg from Robyn Allen. Messrs PJ & ES Rogerson sold their usual quality run of Texels to 402.5p/kg while KA Purtill and JA Airey sold pens of Hoggs to 400p/kg for Texel and Beltex, respectively. Larger numbers of Herdwicks and Swales about today, regularly selling between 340p/kg and 360p/kg. The best end of Cheviots also selling in that neck of the woods, and to £178 from Messrs GA & A Jackson. Light Hoggs also still a strong trade, with 29kg sheep making 355.2p/kg from Messrs SW & A Hoggarth and 30kg Herdwicks from RA Clegg & LD Bennett selling for 357p/kg.

Todays overall average was 340p/kg and an SQQ average of 350p/kg. Serious competition and prompt payment guaranteed! No knock ons, just clean and tidy finishes. See you next week. For further enquires contact Joel McGarva on 07920 009097.
