Longtown Store & Breeding Sheep Sale Report

C&D Auction Marts held their weekly sale of 1,042 ewes and hoggs with lambs at foot at Longtown on Tuesday 23rd May 2023.

Hoggs and lambs proved a very selective trade, commercial hoggs proving difficulty to cash, whilst better bred hoggs were in big demand. Topping at £144 per life for a fantastic pen of Suffolk x hoggs with very tidy Beltex x lambs at foot consigned by JR & CJ Ward, Whitstonehill.

Ewes and lambs sold to recent high rates of return, ensuring all customers left delighted with their days trading. Topping at £130 a life for a Beltex ewe with a single Beltex lamb consigned Messrs Beard, Dormansteads.

Many more strong outfits can be sold to vendor advantage and are required on a weekly basis to satisfy an ever-growing customer demand at Longtown. For all further enquiries please contact John Walton 07880 527066 who will be pleased to take your calls.
