CCM Auctions held their special sale of breeding ewes (2 shear +) at Skipton on Friday together with rams. A nice entry of sheep attracted a large crowd all keen for sheep. Rams started the sale and found a good enquiry levelling at £350. Ewes were very keenly contested, David Coates presented a good run of Mule 2 shears selling at £155 twice, £150 and £145, whilst Thomas Binns sold the same at £150 and £145. John Wright of Airton sold three pens of Suffolk Mule Shearlings all at £140 each. Older ewes sold well, with broken mouth correct below ewes very good to sell.
