J36 Crooklands Livestock Auction: J36 Weekly Sale of Prime Hoggs & Cast Sheep, Tuesday 4th March 2025.

PRIME HOGGS - In spec sheep fly

Handy weight sheep met a fantastic trade from minute one, with many even dearer than last week. The heavier end however were more difficult going in comparison, although the healthy ringside of buyers ensured plenty of demand and well fed types were still nice to sell. A large number of heavy sheep and a lack of quality around saw the SQQ average settle at 339p/kg. 46kg Texels from M&YS Barker, Halton sold to 404.3p/kg. RF Morphet, Halton was just slightly behind at 392.9p/kg for a pair at 42kg. Lighter 33kg hoggs sold to 369.7p/kg for a pen of three from RT Colbear, Appleby. The same home had a pen of nine at 31kg hoggs which achieved 377.5p/kg. A pair of heavies hit £203 from JB Airey, Kendal. Seven Texels sold to £194 from N Barker, Burton in Kendal. Cheviots topped at £193 from D Clark, Milnthorpe.
More sheep are required next week to meet buyer’s demand.
