The trade for Cast Sheep was in keeping with national trends, with the prices being less than seen over previous weeks, although many buyers saying the trade for cast sheep was ahead of many local competitors. Lean ewes looked exceptionally dear in comparison to over-fat ewes that buyers where extremely cautious of. A larger entry of 461, and more ewes on the market nationally also contributing to the reduced trade. Cast tups sold to a top of £119 for a Teeswater from DC Miller of Cobble with other large tups selling £110 plus. Beltex ewes sold to £108 with other big continental ewes selling in the nineties and around £100. Mule ewes sold in the seventies.

First Anniversary of NWA Architectural
It has been a busy first year for our architectural and farm building design service. There have been changes of legislation, government and planning to contend with and no doubt more to come.
In this first year we have successfully obtained planning or building regulation consent for a significant number of projects, and wish to extend our thanks to those clients that have instructed us to do this on their behalf. The NWA website will soon be updated with photographs of completed projects.
The list of successful applications is long and diverse including, a number of buildings converted to flats, around 15 new farm buildings consented, some already built and earning their keep. We have obtained consent for 6 different house projects, some earlier in the year that are nearing completion and others that are to start soon and we have obtained consents for a variety of alterations, extensions or conversions to listed buildings.
We are presently working on detailed site layouts for housing land in the area that will soon be on the NWA website for sale to housing developers and are working on a couple of farm diversification projects which will be submitted in the summer. It has been a successful first year and we hope to extend our service to clients old and new this next year.
We carry out an initial site visit free of charge to assess your project and the site, and offer fixed fee quotes for work including planning applications, conversion notifications, extensions, new buildings, and farm diversification assessments.
