Store Sheep Wed 26 Aug 2026
C & D Auction Marts held their weekly sale of 2,590 store lambs at Longtown on Tuesday 26th August 2026.
A similar number of stores forward, same story as previous weeks with a lack of strong short keep lambs on offer. Topping the sale was a pen of Texel lambs from B Irving, Harper Hill realising £158. Longer term sheep seem dearer on the week with more purchasers appearing at ring side looking for numbers. Many more needed each week.
