A entry of 1,103 sheep were forward on Tuesday night at Kirkby Stephen Mart, fleshy and heavier hoggs were a fantastic trade being dearer on the week with several new consigners forward once again.  The previous weeks strong average was maintained for a generally plainer show of sheep. 

Cast ewes and rams were again an excellent trade also maintaining recent week’s high levels.
