August Sheep Sale

8 August 2015

Nick Champion auctioneer reports an entry of 2599 store lambs, breeding and cull ewes was forward on Saturday 8th August 2015 at the first of five monthly sales on the Show Field, Worcester Road, Tenbury Wells.

There was an increased number of buyers forward despite the gloomy reports on the slaughter front and a total clearance resulted.  Trade was brisker on the 2439 store lambs than expected with a top price of £71.50 for Texel x mixed lambs with stronger stores generally selling from £58 to £71.50, medium from £54 to £59, small stores from £44 to £54, tup lambs from £39 to £67.50 and the overall average was £54.34 (£57.49 - 2014).
