Lancaster Livestock Auction: Lancaster's Weekly Sale of Prime Lambs and Cast Sheep, Monday 25th August 2025

PRIME LAMBS
Less numbers about today with the combination of the bank holiday and the trend in prime lamb trade last week. Today’s average was 312p/kg which looks good compared with the end of last week across other centres. Good quality is still good to sell and are making for far better returns than this time last year. Lambs sold to £174 from GS Lander for a sizable Charollais, a pair of Texels from J Pinder & Sons sold to £169 and J Twigge also sold Texels to the £167 mark. A pen of five Beltex from WS Burrow Ltd sold for 342p/kg, while a pair of Beltex from Ian Richardson sold for 338p/kg. A pen of eight Texel again from J Twigge sold for 337p/kg.

CAST SHEEP
Texel cast ewes topped at £225 from R Collinge & Son. C Ellison sold another for £222, with Charollais topping at £182 from GS Lander. Mules topped at £170 from R Collinge & Son.

STORE LAMBS
Store lambs also a strong trade today, J Gardner sold a pen of five Texels to £106 and a pen of six to £104. Two lots of twelve sold to £100, both times from JH Thornhill.
Plenty of buyers round the ring once again here at Lancaster, contact Andrew Butler or Matthew Probert with any enquiries regarding next week’s sale.
