Good prices at sale of sheep
The Annual Kerry Sheep Sale was held recently where around 1,000 ewes were offered by Morris Marshall & Poole. Very consistent trade followed with some exceptional prices. However, the trend for this year of selective purchasing continued as many buyers chased the first-quality sheep with the second quality being harder to shift.
Top prices of the day went to two vendors who achieved £100 plus: Mrs G. Bound and Son, Cefnbach, Oakley Park, achieved top price for two-year-old ewes with a call of £108 being sold to Eric Hughes of Stoke-on-Trent. Messrs Bound also sold to £106 and £100 for yearling ewes. Davies Bros, Upper Esgair, also achieved £102, also selling to Eric Hughes.
P. Jones and Son , Dolgwenith, Oakley Park, sold to £94 for two-year-old ewes purchased by Morton Powell, Drefor.
Other local consignments sold to the following top prices: Price and Price, Cwmearl, to £65, G. and M. Jones, Weston, to £65, P. Jones and Son, Old House, to £73 and £70 for Suffolk-cross ewes and D. Davies, Maes y Nant to £76, £75 and £72 for Suffolk-cross yearlings.Ê
In The Welsh section A. J. Owen, Cwmbyr, sold to £68 for Welsh yearlings.
