JACOB SHEEP - SATURDAY 1ST SEPTEMBER 2018

ANNUAL SALE OF JACOB SHEEP A quite exceptional day of trading at the 43rd Jacob Sheep Society Sale held at Skipton with the breed record price beaten twice and record prices achieved for both male and female sections. It was the ‘Pentretenant’ flock of Mrs DJ Price which took the headlines with their first prize ram lamb a ‘Blackbrook Fire Balls’ grandson bred from their homebred ‘Hope Flash Lad’ bred ewe which with a reserve male championship from the 2018 Royal Welsh Show, and the day’s Skipton Reserve Championship, joined a Scottish consortium for 4600gns.




This price smashed the previous record achieved only an hour before when the Hope flock of Mr and Mrs DW Harries of Carmarthenshire sold their first prize winning shearling ewe and Supreme Champion to H Bailie of Carluke for 2700gns.

Back in the ram lambs Mr L Trumper and Family made the long journey north after their 2017 success with another ‘Border Windrush’ bred charge which sold for 700gns to J Hardman of Windermere with same combination of exhibitor and purchaser achieving another solid performance at 510gns for their ‘Border Windrush’ bred shearling ewe.
