2 2409 SHEEP 9.30AM Auctioneers: Russell Steer & Ian Caunter Lambs to 110 & 208ppk Cull Ewes to & Rams to PRIME SPRING LAMBS Just on 1000 lambs met with a better trade especially for the heavier and better bred and finished types with five pens achieving three figures. Steve & Rachel Stamp of Highbridge had a Texel at 110 followed by son Harry with a Dorset Down at 102, Bill Speak of North Tawton sold two pens of overweights at 105 & 100 and Kevin & Becky Matthews of Launceston had a pair at kg lambs sold to 97 for both Phillip Rowell of Crockernwell and John Camp of Totnes, 95 for both Bill Speak and John Simmons of Poltimore closely followed by Jack Frankum of Whitestone at kg lambs sold to for Richard Rogers of South Milton and 92 for Cameron Zab of Widecombe whilst a double pen of 48kg lambs sold at 94 for Greendown Farm of Umberleigh and 47kgs reached 94 (200ppk) for Tom Yandle of Mamhead and 93 again for John Simmons who also had 46kgs at 91.

Although I say it nearly every week I will continue to say that the majority of lighter lambs would be better sold on a Friday in front of a keen crowd of buyers. The exception to this are Coryton s Sam Friend s smart 38kg fed lambs that climbed to 70.50, P Purser s 39kg lambs that made and Abel Bros 36kg fed lambs that realised SQQ was four pence better at 181ppk whilst all in was better still at 183ppk CULL EWES & 25 RAMS 1402 cull sheep were similar to the previous few weeks with the heaviest and best fleshed selling well, whilst leaner, plainer and lighter sorts meet more resistance. Best today at for both Sue Cleave of Christow and Russell & Alison Retter of Cotleigh with big Suffolk type ewes, whilst both I & S Robertson of Exeter and P & M Stoyle & Sons of East Village achieved 115 with their best pens. Gary & Ashley Retter made 114 of their best followed closely by both Sue Veysey of Cullompton and Tony Ash of North Tawton at 112, both Brian Griffiths of Burrington and Steve Dennis of Bow at 111 and Steve & Rachel Stamp sold two pens of Continental ewes at 110.
