ANNUAL SHOW & SALE OF SWALEDALE EWES & GIMMER SHEARLINGS
Forward: 2,364 head. Overall Average was £116.34 (+£29.65)
CCM Auctions conducted their Annual Sale of Swaledale Draft Ewes and Gimmer Shearlings at Skipton Mart on Saturday. A good trade during the Autumn for Mule Lambs brought buyers to the Annual Sale of Swaledale Breeding Sheep in confident form which brought an increase of £29.65 per head against the 2019 average of £86.39 which on the year was considered a good result.
The increase was across the board and clean bright ewes for crossing were the pick of the trade with top pens strongly contested.
