Lambs - Judges Mr Thomas Shepherdson (Lowland Lambs) & Mr Martin McIntyre (Hill Lambs)

In the live lamb competition there was a great show of quality lambs from across all the breeds that are so well represented week in week out at our busy Monday primestock auctions. Regular vendors were to the fore as well, as Martin McIntyre of Bainbridge, who judging the Hill bred lambs choose a pen of Mule Wethers consigned by Joe Throup of Draughton as his Hill Champions and were awarded The Anthony Dean Perpetual Challenge Trophy. They later sold to the judge for £110 each. The reserve hill champions were a pen of Swaledale wethers from John Smith of Carlton, weighing 51kg they sold to Farmison & Co of Ripon.

In the Lowland section, Thomas Shepherdson was judging and with a fantastic run of Beltex cross lambs it was Martin & Valerie Brown of Leyburn who each of the 4 classes for Continental sired lambs and their heavy trimmed pen were given Lowland Champions and awarded the ES Hartley Trophy for the Supreme Champion pen, they attracted bids from 6 different butchers but quickly moved to £500 each and it was this bid from Tom Wood, head of the butchery department at Huntleys Country Store in Samlesbury, Preston that was successful in securing the lambs. Reserve champions also came from Martin & Valerie Brown, the lightweight trimmed class pen sold for £250 each to Messrs Swales of Knavesmire butchers in York.
