Store Lambs
J36 had an offering of 2467 store lambs forward, this was a sale of realisation following on from the recent flying trade which we have enjoyed. A shortage of good quality short keep lambs, saw lambs regularly sold between £90 and £100 but today saw a large quantity of lambs which had seen the effect of the recent poor weather and looked weathered.
