Livestock & Dairy: Bakewell Market

A reduced entry than shown in the catalogue, a result of the snow and wintery conditions but those forward were rewarded with an excellent trade with all types in demand to a large gathering of prospective purchasers.

The overall average returned at £102.71 with a top price of £138 with further statistics below.

Following the lambs was a flock dispersal on behalf of the late Robert Wood which saw excellent demand from both local and more distant purchasers with shearlings to a top of £188 and older ewes to £146.
