WEEKLY PRIMESTOCK SALE
Wallets Marts Castle Douglas Limited on Tuesday 21st July 2020 had forward 1960 prime and cast sheep.
1535 prime lambs sold to average 217.41 (SQQ 217.72)
A nice show of lambs were forward selling to a top of £104 twice firstly for Beltex from Gelston Castle Farms, Castle Douglas, then for a Blue Texel from Messrs Smith, Low Arkland, Castle Douglas. Top per kilo was 276.9 for a pen of outstanding Beltex lambs from Messrs Burgess, Maryfield, New Abbey with 14 pens (96 lambs) selling at 240ppk and over, proving that the best lambs are readily wanted at Castle Douglas. As was seen yesterday, lambs were cheaper than last week but for the time of year they were a grand trade for the numbers forward.
Cast sheep were a sound trade although easier due to huge numbers around the country, topping at £112 for Texels from Slatehouse.
