United Auctions had 1,888 lambs and sheep catalogued at its second sale of all classes at Islay Auction Mart last Friday.
Despite lambs being 1.8 kgs lighter, they averaged £55.80. Most sellers returned home satisThed having received around £5 per head more on the year.
A good ringside of buyers was evident at the sale and more could have been sold to sellers’ advantage.
