ROUGH FELLS SELL TO 600GNS AT IN-LAMB SALE
WITH OVER £1000 RAISED FOR CHARITY BY THE ROUGH FELL SHEEP BREEDERS ASSOCIATION
The annual show and sale of Rough Fell in-lamb sheep attracted a large crowd of buyers from throughout the UK, from as far afield as Wales, Ireland and the Midlands. Judging was in the capable hands of young breeder Aaron Troughton from Firbank, who awarded the championship rosette to a Shearling from William Dawson, Sedbergh, which was scanned carrying twins. The judge later backed his decision and purchased the sheep for a final bid of 500gns. The reserve champion, a Shearling for S Hoggarth & R Capstick, Howgill, scanned carrying twins also achieved a final bid of 500gns selling to Miss Amy Harrison, Kentmere.
The sale topped at 600gns for the first prize In-lamb Ewe from E & K Bland, Tebay. This 1 crop Ewe was scanned with twins, and sold to K Milburn, Sedbergh. 10 In-lamb Rough Fell sheep sold in excess of 200gns.
The flock reduction on behalf of George & Kath Robinson saw a top price of 240gns, achieved for In-lamb Shearlings, and older Ewes selling to 220gns. Several consignments of groups of In-lamb sheep sold to keen interest, with 3 Ewes from G & K Robinson selling for 150gns, with others 125gns from A Mackie, Howgill, selling a pen of 5 In-lamb Ewes. Just one entry of grouped Shearlings sold to 105gns all carrying singles from T,L,B & J Knowles.
