Lambs to Hoards Station

Took some Katahdin/Suffolk cross lambs to Hoards Station Livestock Market today. The prices were not as good as usual, as we only averaged $110 per lamb. Some of them were over 100albs so this might have reduced the price a bit. Prices for lambs seem a bit lower this summer than usual.
Hoards Station is a fun place to visit and take the kids. Lots of animals including rabbits,birds, chickens, puppies as well as the usual sheep,goats,cows and pigs. The occasional horses and llamas are there as well.
There is a small market place where you can buy produce or antiques, and the local churches put on a great lunch for less than $10 including coofee and pie.
