HUNTLY – United Auctions (June 13 2018) sold 1336 prime sheep. New season lambs (126) sold to 272p per kg for 38kg TexX from Overhill, Rothienorman and to £136 for 58kg Tex from Dunscroft, Gartly.

Old season lambs (401) sold to 192p per kg for 38kg Chev from Wardhead, Strichen and to £105 for 60kg Mule from Wardhead, Strichen. Lamb trade was similar to what has been witnessed the last few weeks. Well fleshed hoggs met a firm enquiry, however leaner sorts cashed in at reduced values. The ewe ring wasn’t as fierce as last week’s phenomenon. All classes were easier and were similar to the values that were seen two weeks ago.
