Store & Breeding Sheep The first real entry of store lambs today saw buyers ever present, but cautious due to the very dry weather. Rain desperately needed to improve the store trade, but vendors were pleased with returns on the day. Trade topped at for Texels from Melvyn Palfreyman; with a level run of lambs from Richard Garley topping at 51 twice, firstly for a pen of Texels and then for a pen of Suffolks; other pens of Texels from this run sold to 50 and 48. Stores likely to come forward in numbers this year. If you are looking to buy or sell please speak to any of the team to discuss your needs. Our breeding sales are fast approaching and early entries would be welcomed. To discuss marketing or to request an entry form, please speak to any of the team.
