A good entry met a consistent trade throughout with the shearling and ram lambs in demand from local commercial buyers. Only two established breeders from England were buying, Jenny Grant Parkes taking the Male champion, a ram lamb from RJ Thomas at 510gns and Veronica and Joshua Brigg claiming three ram lambs. The judge, Ann Elliott, and another young couple from Shropshire bought females to establish new flocks which is always encouraging at a breed sale
