LERWICK

Shetland Livestock Marketing Group in conjunction with Aberdeen and Northern Marts presented and sold 47 head of cattle and 1843 sheep of all classes at their sale on Saturday 7th November 2020.

Cattle easily maintained the trade of the previous sale. All classes of sheep were sharper with good quality lambs being scarce and consequently dearer. Once again the online bidding facility proved its worth with buyers becoming more adept and confident in its use.
