FORWARD: 2,029 Breeding Sheep & Rams including Annual Sale of Lleyn Breeding sheep and Gimmer Lambs, Fortnightly Sale of Breeding Sheep and Third Sale of Swaledale Ewes.
A typical mixed entry for the time of year with a few pens sailing nicely away, but buyers also looking for some late season value for money as well. Horned ewes were mainly correct below sheep or feeders and sold to a solid trade when compared to fat, whilst the Lleyn sheep received a mixed reception, young strong sheep a decent trade, but ewe lambs difficult to place.
