16th May – Sheep Prices Report

 

Numbers on offer were similar to last week. The prices for spring lambs came under pressure this week as a result of the poor quotes and lesser demand from factories.  The trade for Stag Ewes were easier but still met with a full clearance. Ewes and Lambs at foot traded well with prices slighter better than the previous week.
