A similar number of lambs on offer sold to an improved trade throughout, with more competitive bidding on all weights and grades of lambs. Yet again better quality, better meated lambs were in most demand. Export weight lambs (39 – 45 kilos) sold to a much sharper trade with keener bidding on these types than in recent weeks.
