Prime Lambs

North West Auctions, J36 weekly sale of Prime Lambs saw, as nationally, the trade slightly easier. There was an entry of 1473 forward selling to an overall market average of 202p/kg with an SSQ average of 208p/kg.

Heavy weighted lambs have taken the largest hit and instead of regularly selling easily in excess of the 200p/kg mark often sold around the 190p/kg mark. Handy weighted export lambs continue to be in strongest demand with Texel bred lambs around the 40kg mark and well fleshed regularly selling between 215p/kg and 220p/kg. The light weight trade this week was slightly more selective as the orders become full for the Christmas export trade.

Leading the way this week at £108 were 50kg Texel lambs from EI EA & TW Wilson, Flookburgh and others from the same home selling to £107. Other Texel lambs sold to £107 from AW Crowe, Witherslack, weighing 44kg. Beltex lambs sold to a top of 291p/kg or £102 from EI EA & TW Wilson, this was closely followed by 284p/kg and 264p/kg from JT & PH Thompson, Selside.
