SHEEP (687) Auctioneer: Nick Young
LAMBS (393) Overall average 140.8p per kilo
Summertime and the living is hard, still no rain in the South East. The pound has strengthened and then weakened against the Euro and demand is minimal across the country. It was only the best of the very best that were wanted today and in particular “storified” lambs are best properly finished to achieve their economic potential. FG Coles breeding and feeding paying dividends yet again. All in all a very hard days trading but considerably better than many Tuesday markets.
Leading prices per kg:- P G Poole 166.7p, FG Coles 160p, 150.7p, AA & M Woolgar 158.8p, 146.8p, CM Wettern 148.8p, 144.9p, SMJ Baldock 148.7p, 144p, Mrs H Raw 146.7p, DJC Gosling 145p, FS Major & Sons 145p, GN & J West 144.2p, 142.4p, I Williams 144.1p, DW Reed 143.2p,
Leading prices per head:- P G Poole £82.00, CM Wettern £70, £68, FG Coles £68, £67.50, Mrs H Raw £65.50, AA & M Woolgar £63.50, GN & J West £62.50 (thrice), £62, £61.50, G Harvey £61.50
EWES (121)
Still no let up in this trade with all ewes keenly contested by the big factory men. Very lean sorts look value to keep until September when Ramadan finishes provided you have the grass.
J R McCutchan £83, £74, £70, R Gorringe £83, G Harvey £75, £65, SMJ Baldock £70, CM Wettern £69, HG Allen & Son £68, JJ Seller & Partners £66, GN & J West £65
STORE SHEEP (173)
Considering where the fat lamb prices are all stores remain a good trade with the majority making north of the £50 mark.
The question is sell now or feed on ? The answer is do both !!!!
Liverton Partners £54, £45 (twice) Hollycombe Farms Ltd £53, KP Bull £50, D Powell £48 (twice), £44, Miss J Longley £40
SHEEP TAGS - EID
Please note that any sheep born and/or identified in 2010 should be tagged and identified with tags compliant with the new EU 21/2005 sheep EID regulation rules.
EID tags are more favourable but last year’s tags are not acceptable.

Held On Second Saturday In Every Month

Our Mid-summer market will be showcasing seasonal fruit and vegetables and a wide variety of meat such as pork chops, sausages, bacon, beef, lamb, chicken and a good choice of game meat, for cooking either in the kitchen or on the barbeque. We will also be promoting plenty of fresh, local produce such as cakes and pies, free range eggs, honey and wax products, delicious Organic milk straight from the cows, locally caught fish, a good selection of Sussex cheeses, annual and perennial plants, along with several of our Craft stallholders offering a variety of gifts and cards. Farmers’ Markets give you the chance to talk to the stallholders who actually produce, bake or make their products, giving you the opportunity to find out more about their production methods from start to finish. They give freely of their expertise, time and knowledge, and you will also find their prices compete favourably with the supermarkets. Our Information Stand offers a range of leaflets on local events, produce and recipes, together with the very popular Farm Stay brochures promoting affordable holidays on farms throughout Great Britain.
