Auctioneer’s Report: (Stephen Dennis): The entry of Mule shearlings provided sheep to suit all budgets ranging from £118/head to a top of £290/head. Top quality pens were once again in abundance with 21 pens at or about £200/head. The pre sale show judged by David Fenwick & Susie Malkinson, Gainsborough proved a challenging task, the champion prize eventually awarded to Brian Lawson of Westhouse which later sold at £230/ head to Frankland Farms who also bought Brian’s second pen at £220. Plenty of notable consignments with Chris & Tessa Hewitt topping the sale at £290 with other pens at £230, £210, £205 & £200; Messrs Ward & Robinson, Intack farm at £250, £230, £215 & £200; Phillip & Denis Elliott £230, £220 x 2, £210; Fox Farms £215 & £202. A solid trade throughout which if anything went slightly dearer as the sale progressed.
