Breeding Sheep
2,987 Breeding Sheep comprising 713 Geld Gimmer Hoggs, 1,031 Hoggs Shearlings and Ewes with 1,243 Lambs at Foot
A huge show of breeding sheep today at Skipton sold away at prices that understandably were less on the year. Anything with power and style was easily sold, some great runs of Mule and Continental Hoggs in the £200 - £230 region, very best making more, whilst nice sorts £160-£180, and a more commercial type for farming could be picked up for less. In the geld hogg section there was the largest entry seen for several years, and buyers were selective but still there was a good clearance rate.
