WEEKLY PRIMESTOCK SALE
Clipping facilities will be available from 8.00am and it would be extremely helpful if lambs could arrive as early as possible to ensure the shearers are kept going, and hold ups are avoided. All attempts to achieve this would be greatly appreciated. If it would help vendors by delivering lambs on a Monday, lairage facilities are available.
Wallets Marts Castle Douglas Limited on Tuesday 22nd November 2016 had forward 2435 Prime Lambs and 564 Cast Sheep.
2435 lambs sold to average 164.78p (SQQ 169.62). All classes were sharper with export type lambs short of requirements and showing the largest increase. Again there was a large show of heavy lambs forward.
