PRIME HOGGS

A smaller entry of prime hoggs was presented this week, and more could have been sold to the clear advantage of vendors, with a lively trade from start to finish. Buyers are actively seeking numbers each week, and producers are strongly encouraged to make use of the strong demand.

Hill-bred hoggs continue to sell to an advantage at Hawes, and vendors are urged to make their way to the mart, with the Garsdale road expected to reopen next week following roadworks.

The best-conformation hoggs sold just shy of 400p/kg from AT Lambert & Son, Simonstone, whose handy-weight Texels peaked at £165. Handy-weight and light, well-finished hoggs remain in firm demand, consistently attracting a premium. Handy-weight Continentals regularly sold between 330–350p/kg, with the best sorts exceeding this.

The market was topped at £176 for heavyweight Suffolks from Woodend Farms, Bainbridge, followed by heavyweight Leicester hoggs at £170 from JW Porter & Sons, Gunnerside. Heavy upland hoggs peaked at £160 from WM & JE Shuttleworth, Barbon, with a strong pen of Mules. Standard-weight Mules comfortably sold at 310p/kg+.

Heavy Swaledale tup hoggs topped at £159 and £154 from WA Dinsdale & Son, Grinton, followed by £151 from RT Tennant, Kilnsey. Plenty of heavy Swales sold just shy of the £150 mark. Rough Fells peaked at £150.50 from A & H Watson, Kirkby Lonsdale, with two pens at £147 from SL Hoggarth, Sedbergh, and two further pens at £147 from EG Clark, Appleby. Standard-weight horned hoggs continue to clear 300p/kg+ with ease.

It was the lightweight, well-fleshed horned hoggs that looked the trade of the day, and many more could have been sold to vendors’ advantage.

Hawes can handle significantly more prime hoggs each week. This week’s entry—mainly hill-bred—sold to an overall market average of 312p/kg.

Rams not as many forward and were topped twice at 3160 with a Zwartble from DA & MA brown & Son and a Cheviot from JS & D Cloughton & Son at the same price. Swaledale Rams were topped with a powerful lad from JR & SL Pratt at £148.

Tuesday 3rd February 2026

 

Forward: 1950 Sheep comprising 1676 Prime Hoggs, 274 Cast Ewes & Rams.

 

PRIME HOGGS

A stronger show of prime hoggs was forward this week, and the increased numbers were well rewarded with a firmer trade throughout. A total of 1,676 hoggs averaged 307p/kg, despite a large proportion being upland and horned types—an excellent result for February and a clear sign of strength in the current demand.

Heavyweights were very much the highlight, with buyer’s keen for quality and willing to pay for it. Leading the trade were Beltex hoggs from C & M Hugill, Hawes, selling to £180, followed closely by their heavy Leicester hoggs at £170. WA Dinsdale & Son, Grinton, sold a strong pen of heavy Beltex hoggs to £169, while Fleets Farm, East Witton, presented a well finished run with heavy Suffolks to £165 and Texels to £163. JR & LA Capstick, Killington, sold 48kg Texels to £163, with other pens at £162, and plenty more heavy hoggs comfortably selling towards £160.

Handy-weight Continentals with good conformation sold particularly well, with the best exceeding 400p/kg, topping at 414p/kg for Beltex from R Mudd & Sons, Cubeck. Commercial handy weights regularly achieved 330–350p/kg, ensuring a strong return for all vendors.

Mule hoggs also enjoyed a straight, firm trade. Heavy mules peaked at £156 from JW Porter & Sons, Gunnerside, followed by £155 from JS & S Atkinson, Scorton, with numerous pens around the £150 mark. Handy-weight mules sold between 315–328p/kg, giving an overall mule average of 310p/kg.

A good entry of horned hoggs once again met a sharper trade. Heavy Swaledales reached £151 for JW Porter & Sons, Gunnerside, and £150 from T Dent & Sons, who also sold an impressive pen of 25 Swales at 47kg for £144.50. Plenty of heavy Swaledales sold over £140. Heavy Dalesbreds topped at £144 from DC Miller, Claughton-on-Brock.

Next Tuesday, 10th February, will feature the Annual Swaledale Show of pens of five Swaledale prime hoggs, with show hoggs to be penned by 9am. Following the prime hogg and cast sheep sale will be the sale of in-lamb breeding sheep, including the annual consignment of Swaledale ewes in lamb to the Leicester tup from Jack Hallam, Whitby. With trade holding strong across all classes, vendors are encouraged to support next week’s busy fixtures, which promise another excellent day’s trading.
