| On Tuesday, March 26, we shall reopen the sheep market alone for the sale of spring lambs, hoggs and cull ewes by auction. |
| Firstly, we shall be selling in the sheep shed with a full live auction of hoggs, ewes and spring lambs, if there are any about. |
| Again I feel that the volume of hoggs is not going to be there this year and if you can hold onto your sheep for a week or two it should pay. |
| Lambs born now and during April are generally sold fat over the summer and into the autumn while those left go on to the market well into the New Year as hoggs. |
| Perhaps I should explain that these hoggs are last year's ewe lambs that are to become flock replacements. |
| We are selling about 200 cattle each week and just short of 2,000 hoggs and lambs which is a good indicator of the demand. |
