Lancaster Livestock Auction: Lancaster Spring Lambs, Prime Hoggs and Cast Sheep

SPRING LAMBS

Lancaster auction had a large entry of 951 spring lambs forward, selling to a reduced trade as seen Nationwide but still eagerly bid for by Lancaster’s active ring of buyers. Lancasters overall market average today was 258p/kg. The consignment from J S Horner, Ingleton led the way selling Texels to £152 or 310p/kg, best confirmation butcher type lambs still regularly sold around and in excess of the 300p/kg mark. Other noted prices today saw Texels to £139 from J S Horner, with Charollais to £136 from S Wilson & Son, Scotforth and heavy weight Texels to £133 from PD Anderton, Scorton. Still plenty of lambs today easily selling in excess of the £120 mark.
Light weight lambs still eagerly bid for with 32kg Texels selling to £88 from A V Bailey, Cheshire. The lambs trade still remains very buoyant for the time of year, with all lambs forward today still averaging well in excess of the £100 mark. It was noticed today that as more numbers come on the market Nationwide buyers are being more selective and not as keen of leaner lambs.

A handful of prime hoggs forward today saw the consignment of pure Texel tup hoggs from T & CM Kelsall & Sons, Chipping sell to £178, £170 and £155 twice.
