FORWARD: 1121 Breeding Ewes & 87 Rams.
A good sale today with ewes of all classes in nice demand. Older Mule ewes in good condition from late 70’s to early 90’s, whilst commercial Mule shearlings were around £120. Continental bred sheep were a mixed show, some good Blue Texels as part of a dispersal from Ronnie Bailey, Reeth topped at £180 for shearlings and £160 for Ewes whilst R Sadler topped the sale at £200 for gimmer lambs.
Horned ewes were mainly broken mouth, correct below, and these generally made late 30’s or in the 40’s, feeding types either side of £30.
The next sale for Ewes of all breeds and all classes of rams is on Tuesday 29th October, and this will be our last Tuesday sale for this season. Next Tuesday (22nd Oct) is the 4th Gimmer Lamb sale with 2,300 head entered, also 195 Registered Dalesbred Sheep and Rams plus our new sale of Hill Rams for which there are 54 Cheviot, Lonk, Gritstone, Herdwick and BFL Rams entered. In November breeding sheep, gimmer lambs and rams will be sold in a separate ring on Store Lamb Wednesdays (13th & 27th Nov), entries for all these sales to the mart office. Thankyou.
