The annual show and sale of Rough Fell Breeding Rams on behalf of the Rough Fell Sheep Breeders Association had an entry of 192 for the sale.
There was a strong line up of rams forward for the pre-sale show and thanks must go to our judges Mr BH Williams, Mr S Huck, Mr S Watson, Mr JS Handley, Mr R Simpson and Mr D Stephenson as well as Mr J Capstick for standing in at the last minute. There were many admired rams out for the show with the championship rosette being awarded to the first prized shearling from the open class lot 139 from E & K Bland of Cotegill, Tebay with RF3100 sired by RF2621 Barugh Watch Me Go. This powerful tup went on to sell for 3,800gns to Amy Harrison of Kentmere.
