Hexham & Northern Marts Continue to be leaders in
prime sheep marketing in the North East
Live market returns at both Centres have been consistently above the
National Average on those days and the quality of the sheep and the
improved pre sale lamb sorting has given the buyers more confidence and
made both Hexham & Scots Gap a must for all the major processors.
The importance of thorough pre sale sorting and farm
assurance can not be over emphasised
Pre entry of Primestock ensures that there are Customers present for your
sheep
PLEASE INFORM US OF YOUR ENTRIES BY 5P.M THE DAY
BEFORE THE SALE
HEXHAM & NORTHERN DIRECT
We require large numbers of Farm Assured Lambs from
15-21kgs to supply 3 major processors.
We require lightweight lambs between 11 and 15 kilos deadweight on a flat
rate for lambs grading 02 or better
To cut costs and improve returns The Company operates 3 Authorised
Collection Centres throughout Northumberland where lambs are collected up
to 3 days a week.
Lightweight Lambs
We anticipate a strong demand for Lightweight "Euro"
Lambs from 25-35 kilos Liveweight beginning in August
