PRIME HOGGS - The prime sheep trade continues to delight.

An extremely strong trade yet again at Junction 36 shows no let up for the better end and well-fed types. A slight drop was witnessed for the lightest end of hoggs, in the 30kg-35kg range. Leaner and weathered types were also less than the previous couple of weeks. However fit and fed hoggs sold like hot cakes with as much demand as ever.
All the twos!! £222 was met twice for Texel hoggs from T Wilson, Selside and a continental hogg from RHMS Boyren, Ulverston. Many other pens sold over the £200 mark and a remarkable number of sheep today were over £190, including many Mules, topping at £197 from EJ Hodgson & Son, Kendal.
In specification and well fed hoggs were highly sought after from start to finish. A nice pen of four 49kg sheep hit £194 or 389.8p/kg from Messrs Rogerson, Appleby. Lighter 40kg hoggs sold to £154 for a pen of seventeen Texels and a pair in-between at 45kg reached £173.
Lighter hoggs today topped at 372.2p/kg for six Texel from Messrs Colbear, Appleby. Eleven Cheviots at a similar weight reached 367.6p/kg, these were from AA Bentham, Dent.
An overall average of 331.21p/kg or £149 was achieved today, with numbers sold well up on the year and an ever increasing ringside of buyers.
