Wednesday May 4th – Sheep Mart Report – Prices

 

There was a good entry of Sheep on offer at Wednesday‘s sale. There was a slight improvement in the average price for Spring Lambs resulting in a full clearance of lots. There was a small number of Hoggets on offer with prices on par to last week.   The trade for Cast Ewes was a little less, however all lots were sold. Once again this week there were good numbers of Ewes with Lambs at foots presented for sale. Ewes with 2 lambs at foot made up to €300, while Ewes with single lambs at foot made up to €254.
