Great Annual Show & Sale of North of England Mule Ewe Lambs onbehalf of NEMSA Members.
Forward: 7,810 head at an overall average of £99.88 per head (-£2.12 down)
CCM Auctions conducted the opening show and sale of NEMSA members Mule Gimmer Lambs at Skipton Auction Mart, North Yorkshire on Tuesday.
The overall sale average levelled at £99.88 (-£2.12 on the year) with an increase of 10% on the numbers sold. The general story of the sale was that running lambs were dearer on the year, but tupping lambs would be cheaper.
The prize show was held as usual on the morning of sale, with Messrs WA&A Booth of Feizor winning the champion pen of 10 lambs for the second year in succession and these sold for £195 purchased by John Wilson and Janet Dunning of Settle. Messrs Booth also took the 1st prize in the pens of 20’s and these sold for £170 to Mr Ken Gill of Melton Mowbray. The full list of prize winners as shown below.
