BROUGHTON MART SHEEP
Tuesday 12th September 2006

At Broughton Mart on Tuesday, 12th September 2006 Harrison & Hetherington Limited had forward 165 breeding tups, 836 breeding ewes and 593 store lambs.

Tup trade was very up and down with the best young rams selling to a premium. A poor show of breeding sheep resulted in bidding being selective, but quality still sold well.

Store lambs were the dearest seen this season with good lambs selling regular to mid £30 and poor smaller lambs being well sought after.
