A good entry of 2504 store lambs attracted a huge ringside of eager buyers ensuring a flying trade was witnessed. The show was ably judged by Mr Ricky Brennand, Devon; our thanks go to him for his time and expertise. After some deliberation Ricky selected a pen of Beltex Lambs from GT & MP Relph, Littletown Farm as his Champion pen. These attracted frenzied bidding at sale time and sold for £94.50.
The days top price of £113 was paid for a pen of Beltex lambs from Allen & Dickenson, Windrush.
Next sale is next week Friday 28th August.
