Livestock vendors should ensure lambs go into correct categories
Sheep farmers should make sure their lambs are entered into the correct categories to get maximum returns at livestock markets, the Livestock Auctioneers Association has advised.The wet summer has meant that in some parts of the country lambs have been late to reach prime condition, but vendors should be aware that the marts will take all categories and weights of sheep.
“Markets throughout the country have buyers who attend on a regular basis for all breeds, condition and weight of sheep, so vendors can be assured that they will continue to get the true market value for all their stock,”
