Auctioneer’s Report (Greg MacDougall): Judging of the Annual Super Two Challenge was in the capable hands of Lee Reade on behalf of Field Fresh Trading Ltd. Some outstanding pairs of quality hoggs were put forward with the eventual winners coming from J Robinson & Z Ward, Carnforth. Two great Beltex hoggs scaling 49kg sold to £270 or 551p bought by the judge. Taking 2nd place were two homebred hoggs from Liam Whitaker, Bowsber, Clapham. They went on to make £170 or 415p purchased by Bentham supporter Harry Wood of Bowland Foods. (see show results separate). Thanks to all vendors for taking part, sponsors Dalehead Vets and to Lee for his time. Away from the show, some great consignments of hoggs were forward with several coming from the Lincolnshire area. Plenty of local farmers’ sheep still coming forward with over 4000 sold once again this week to average 270p or SQQ 275.5p. The very best handy weight hoggs good to sell and well bid for by the competitive ringside of buyers. Several pens around 400p. Plenty of others 320-350p with the nicest commercial types around 300p. Hoggs 45-50kg selling between £122-£130 with any amounts of sheep in this weight category coming forward. Heavier lambs 50kg+ £130-£145 with better butcher types £150-£170. A great run of 117 from Lincolnshire rep Nigel Thorndyke topped at £170 to average over £150. Heavier Mules in the £120s with handy weights 255-265p. Not as many Swale hoggs forward this week. Best pens 245-255p with Barrie Thomas topping per head at £117. A nice pen of SBF from L Broster selling to 262.2p. Light weights 230-240p for the best meaty types. Store and grass fed hoggs harder to place as homes now become limited for these goods.
